Other versions

Lover runs 122 BPM in F♯ major (2B), a club-tempo indie rock record. Tonally it lands bright and euphoric. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. Brighter than 94% of &ME's catalogue. In a set it works best as a floor-filler.

How to mix it

In 2B at 122 BPM: 3B (D♭ major) — move to 3B to push the floor harder; 2A (E♭ minor) — switch to 2A for a mood change without losing the groove; 1B (B major) — drop to 1B to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 115-129 BPM — anything in that window beatmatches without sounding stretched.

Key on the fader: without key lock (Master Tempo on CDJs), above roughly +5% it plays a semitone higher, so treat it as 9B rather than 2B; below -5% it reads as 7B. With key lock on, it stays 2B across the whole range.

Programming: a floor-filler.
