Some songs can trigger memories, and YaYa Whatever’s new song “Kickback” does that in a warm, real way. It’s a bright daydream with indie pop and alt-pop vibes that recall first experiences and the bittersweet feelings.
“Kickback” is a thoughtful story of freedom and discovery, inspired by memories of growing up in Chicago. It takes us back to a time when life was without limits, when every decision was made with the thrill of what was to come, when friendships, loves, and spontaneous adventures built the people we would be.
The song was produced by Jose Alcantar and Frankie IV and recorded at YaYa Whatever's musical fortress in North Hollywood. The production is immersive and colourful, and can only be described as a funhouse in a dream. Beneath the shiny surface is a reflective rumination on the love, longing, and loss that often accompany life’s first times.
The song taps into your first friendship, your first heartbreak, your first taste of independence, feelings that are instantly familiar long. YaYa’s personal memories become songs that are intimate and universal all at once. “Kickback” is a tribute to youth, freedom, and experiences that mark our lives for eternity.
