9. ellie d. – Bedtime
The LA-based dream/alt-pop artist says of the song, “I’m a pretty positive person, but my thoughts run wild at night. Anxiety takes over me and it feels like time is racing. But bedtime is also when I’m most inspired, and I write my best music. This song is about searching for balance between those two sides.”
