"Latency" opens with a hypnotic piano loop, setting a moody atmosphere that complements Gates' sultry vocals. Her lyrics explore the frustration of waiting for a response, capturing the modern ache of digital delay. The track balances vulnerability and confidence, drawing listeners into its intoxicating rhythm.
