Where ‘On Call For You’ toyed with delicate obsession, ‘Closer to Heaven’ ignites a new kind of fire, one that’s drenched in nostalgia, rebellion, and pure, heart-on-sleeve sincerity. It’s Empara Mi at her most unapologetically bold, channeling the colossal choruses and dynamic production of her influences while staying true to the intricate storytelling of Monsters & Masochists.

Speaking on the release, Empara Mi said: “This song feels like dancing on the edge of a cliff, leaning over just to feel closer to someone you can no longer touch. There’s a strange comfort in that kind of sadness, a quiet hope buried in the grief of knowing you’re just a bit closer to heaven. At the same time, I wanted it to feel euphoric, like the music I grew up screaming in my bedroom. Everything I’m writing now feels like a conversation with my younger self, and there’s something that’s healing about finally screaming along with her and saying everything I didn’t know how to say then.”
