edit 3 - me humming the melody https://voca.ro/1fiQl9tlBHoh I also want to stress again it wasn’t a slow or chill song. It had energy very similar to I Feel For You by Chaka Khan, and the melody I’m humming was made up by what sounded like the opening piano in Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears, except in major. The singer’s vocals also complimented the melody since the vocals had a similar intonation as the melody I’m humming. I only caught one or two words but I swear she says “nothing really matters” or “nothing ever matters” “nothing truly matters” or “nothing matters”. It’s not Madonna - Nothing Really Matters. I include a list of what it isn’t below…

It’s an 80s pop/dance/house song. There’s this dancy, warm electric bass that’s constantly in the background. The electric bass sounds like this (4:15 minute mark) the melody of it (the bass part) also sounded a little similar to what is in that video.

Then there’s this very 80’s instrument that plays in it between some lines, that’s also very weird. It goes like “DU-NA-NU-NAAHH-NAAA” in quick succession. It’s a sharp highish pitched synthetic/electronic sound. It sounded like something from this old game called Road Trip Adventure. It (referring to that one instrument/electronic sound) had a similar soundfont.

There’s also a piano sound that’s kind of low pitched. Sounded electronic/like a synth, but close to a real piano with the sound being held on to a little longer. I also remember the singer saying “yoouuuu” in a high pitched way.

The song is very energetic and sounds like something you’d hear at a party or disco. It also sounded a little romantic. I heard it in a shop earlier and now it’s driving me mad lol. ChatGPT keeps saying it’s a 90s Madonna song, but that’s not it. It is a very euphoric and nostalgic sounding song even though I’ve never heard it before. It almost sounds like she’s celebrating in the song.

The vibe/emotion/energy it gave is most similar to I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn, especially the later part. It was also fast-ish.

The song MAY have had this weird “get, get get down!” line in it, or something that sounded similar to that (I was talking to someone in the shop so my memory of it is muffled) but I am not 100% certain.

The song wasn’t slow and sounded heavenly.

I can’t really whistle, but the part of the melody I remember most went like this https://voca.ro/17IhmkCs2oHu there was this piano that sounded a bit synth that made up much of that melody. There was also an electric bass sound. The melody was slightly slower than my whistled version of it. The piano sounded similar to the piano in Head over Heels by Tears for Fears except it sounded like the major version of it if that makes sense?
