我們每一個人都應該在自己的跑道上活得自信!」而音樂製作方面,XTIE 說:「我在寫這首歌時,我一直想著音樂產業裡許多知名、具有影響力的女性音樂人,如 Madonna、Lady Gaga、Ariana Grande 和 Taylor Swift 等人。她們真的在音樂事業上啟發我很多!」此次 XTIE 也走出自我的舒適圈,從以往習慣自己一條龍製作歌曲,到這次找來日本製作人 Tomoko Ida 共同製作並和美國 K-Pop 知名製作人 Alawn (如曾為 NCT 、SuperM 、IVE、LOONA 等製作歌曲)來進行混音。在聲響上融入了日本與中國的傳統樂器:尺八與古箏等,讓音樂更佳的多元且具有不同的風貌,正如同歌名〈new classic〉一般不斷地挑戰自我,持續地打造屬於自己的 Cosmic Pop!

We’re a new wave
Your water’s falling down
Watching you cascade
Nothing can fight it
Let it go with the flow
Watching the rainbows
Make a work of art
but you tear it apart
like I’ve got nothing to say
But I know my worth is more than words
you'll see me shining brighter everyday
Come watch me reign
yeah I’m the brand new classic
Replaced the old one burnt it down to ashes
It’s a new era, making my own magic
I’m building something better
Something that lasts forever
Come watch me reign, yeah I’m the brand new classic
Replaced the old one burnt it down to ashes
It’s a new era, making my own magic,
I’m building something better
Something that lasts forever
Deep in the ocean
The waters clear as blue
See my reflection
See all that I could be
No one can change my scene
This is my make believe
Make a work of art
but you tear it apart
like I’ve got nothing to say
But I know my worth is more than words
You’ll see me shining brighter everyday
Come watch me reign, yeah I’m the brand new classic
Replaced the old one burnt it down to ashes
It’s a new era, making my own magic
I’m building something better
Something that lasts forever
I’m breathing
keep healing
this feeling
I’m needing
to live in
this moment
(Watch Me)
Come watch me reign, yeah I’m the brand new classic (yeah new classic)
Replaced the old one burnt it down to ashes
It’s a new era, making my own magic (my own magic)
I’m building something better
Something that lasts forever
Come watch me reign, yeah I’m the brand new classic (classic classic)
Replaced the old one burnt it down to ashes (down to ashes)
It’s a new era, making my own magic,
I’m building something better
Something that lasts forever (something that lasts forever)
