You know I know this other place with a view
We popping bottles all night
Me and you
So let me take you on a ride
To the moon
Where we can do anything
You wanna do
So what’s your fondest memory
Tell me bout your family
Ecstasy or tragedy
Sharing is the remedy
So make me your amenity
You can put it all on me
Before we loose our sanity

Cuz people are so cold these days
We can’t let this go to waste
If we put on a show 
It’s ok
Cuz people are so cold these days
Clouds everyday 
Is the shame shade of grey
Clouds all around
Still alone
Still the same
Numb 
Everything
Make it go
Go away
How do I breathe
When nothing gets through
But the pain 
But the pain
But the pain
Pain

Champagne waterfall
Never ending waves 
Mansion with no walls
Surf a hurricane
Genie with them wishes
Make them body vicious
Michelin DeliciousNow look at me
I’m on a rocket to the stars
but the view ain’t high enough 
Swimming in a billion bucks
But the pool ain’t big enough
When you think you have it all
But it all just ain’t enough

Yeah give me one more
Hit
Give me one more
Hit
Loosing control is this how it gon be
I ain’t letting you get a hold on me
Gotta keep it together now so they don’t see
How I’m loosing control cuz I’m in too deep
Ain’t gonna trip out
It’s time to dip out
Ain’t gonna trip
It’s time to dip out

Aw man, here we go again

Pursuing success feels a lot like chasing a high. jaye is familiar with the rush; as a DJ, he partied as much as he could, hustling in his career while abusing alcohol for literal intoxication. But nightlife exhausted him. The limited return that came from those sleepless nights only fueled the pain that tormented him between gigs. The cycle that inspired jaye’s latest single was dubbed “ADHD”: Attention, Depression, Hit, and Dip.

“ADHD” stands out thanks to the skills that jaye has mastered over the course of his career, most notably his instinct for rhythm and production. He was inspired by Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” to experiment with the structure of the song as well as the music video. It all starts with Attention, marked by pills and fearlessness. Then Depression hits, deflating the energy from what could have been a smooth club hit as he sings nearly a cappella about being chained to his pain. A Hit takes us back—jaye raps with a controlled flow, fighting 8-bit enemies in his own personal side-scrolling hellscape. The initial production returns for the final stage, as jaye longs to get out of the situation and Dip. Eventually he does escape, into a void that provides no additional reassurance. Will the same person come out the other side?

jaye came up with the inventive music video for “ADHD,” which allows users to choose their own fate while living experiences that were adapted from jaye’s own memories. The first chapter ends with two options and from there the viewer controls the narrative, or at least that’s what they think. The video is a clever representation of the viciousness of the “ADHD” cycle; viewers will feel the same burden that jaye did as he realized that partying did not empower him but in fact hindered his mental health, and life.

This track comes after the success of previous singles, “DEJAVU” and “TOMORROW,” which both received over half a million views after just one month. The latter was also nominated for Vibe of the Year at The Youth Music Awards. As with those releases, jaye plans to donate the merch proceeds for “ADHD” to Spark, an ADHD non-profit organization. jaye began his music career in a folk-rock duo in Singapore, then fronted a Japan-based funk group before he became a DJ for an X-Factor finalist overseas. After he returned home, he became the AZN SEN$ATION and earned over a million streams and landed on the Spotify viral charts.
