The Creative Process Behind 'Symphony'
'Symphony' featuring Zara Larsson has garnered immense popularity, amassing over 1.5 billion streams since its release. The song's journey began with a different title and theme, originally titled 'Music Sounds Better Without You,' reflecting a more melancholic breakup vibe. The artists underwent a significant transformation of lyrics to create a more uplifting and positive message, finally landing on the iconic line expressing a desire to be part of someone's symphony. Interestingly, the song has found new life through social media platforms like TikTok, where its joyful chorus contrasts with the ironic, often negative context of the memes that have emerged.
