This remix represents a fascinating intersection of deep house and raw emotional pop.

While the original studio version of Calum Scott's cover is a stark, minimalist piano ballad, the Ben Dooks remix introduces a kinetic energy that fundamentally alters the listener's relationship with the song. It takes the skeletal emotional frame of the vocal and wraps it in a shimmering, mid-tempo electronic arrangement. The result is a 'sad banger' that feels both intimate and expansive, allowing the listener to dwell on the heartbreak while being propelled forward by a steady, four-on-the-floor rhythm.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the tropical house beat kicks in after the first chorus, transforming the piano ballad into a rhythmic pulse.
The subtle vocal layering during the 'I'm in the corner' refrain that emphasizes the feeling of isolation.
The bridge where the percussion drops out briefly, leaving Calum's raw vocal to carry the emotional weight before the final drop.
