I was late to the whole hyperpop hype train, busy doing completely other stuff in 2015-and-so, and didn't check on the style pioneer until mid 2020s. Maybe if i found SOPHIE back then, my own style would take a whole other path. This song is a prime example of how unique and infectuious her sound is. There's not many sounds in them, but each sound is its own texture. This type of music that is minimalist in nature but sounds very rich due to how well-made each of the few layers is fascinating. Everything feels like plastic and glitter gel, with the pitched-up vocals on top delivering a hopeful caring message.

The song is crazy groovy, but if you think about it, the beat is really made up of a bunch of transients some of which don't even sound like drums in conventional sense. Really, only kick and clap track as drummy drums. It feels more like a rhythmic stream of tastefully matched textures than a drum pattern, and that's what makes SOPHIE stuff so special to me - this massive groove made of anything but conventional electronic drum sounds.

When i discovered the song (along with SOPHIE herself, her backstory and legacy), i was in the endgame of battling myself over starting or not starting HRT. It was an absolute nightmare, with all the fears on one side and a need to stop wanting to end it all on the other. This song helped tip over the scale in favour of stopping the torture and going for it. The moment at 1:20 where the vocals go "you should try, if you don't you might never know" kept pushing me into stopping being stupid. Obviously, the fact that SOPHIE is also transfem, and that she's no longer with us, played a significant role as well.

Hyperpop as a genre is not something i listen to a whole lot. It sorta ended up in a state similar to neurofunk: a competition of who works Serum and the master compressor better. So there's a lot of stuff that's technically impressive, but emotionally misses. However, as it often happens with music, this kind of songs fade over time, but ones that touch hearts shine on. BIPP is not the only example of such tracks of the genre, as is SOPHIE not the only artist who pulled that off, but it was the song that blew my mind with a concept of music that uncannily kinda feels like electronic pop, but connects to the heart much deeper than a top-40 pick.
