"HEART OF THIS PLACE" LYRICAL SNEAK PEAK
I'm here to stay
Don't go away
Reunited, once again
In LA, long as you're with me
Dreams awake in the heart of this place
Set against a backdrop of shimmering lights and starlit skies, the song paints a picture of reunion and celebration. Maddox Lim and Genevieve Thai deliver emotive vocals backed by the band's signature blend of pop and rock, creating a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and exhilarating.
With its infectious energy and heartfelt lyrics, “Heart of This Place” is poised to become a standout track in Rooted's impressive discography. The song's release coincides with AAPI Heritage Month, adding an extra layer of significance to its message of unity and belonging.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic, not only by the wars we're witnessing, but also by the habits we're adapting where most of our core principles and values are being diluted to an extent where they're about to seize to exist. I wrote this song for Rooted to awaken the younger generation about those values and what actually truly matters, that is family, strong bonds, and togetherness.
