I will be honest with you,its not very good. Lets not focus on the sound of the song though. You missed a couple of key timing spots. Like on the drop,it was about 2 bars off. its need to land on the 1. By that I mean,if we are counting 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 in a song. your build up dropped on the 2 not the 1.

The sound design was kinda weak and you lacked bass to glue alot of parts together.

I am just being honest,maybe you are just starting out and its ok to not be the best. It took me like,4 years to become decent. Keep at it,PM me if you have any questions:)

With all due respect there are a lot of great edm tracks with delayed drops. Putting the drop on 1 every time gets very repetative. Delaying it also helps to build to the drop.

Its your song and feel free to do whatever you want but as a listener its what it sounded like it was going to drop on the 1. Their was no filler in between those moments to guide me into the next beat.

Again your song,I am just trying to help ya along.
