“Prep” lives in the tension between polish and unease—rituals, rules, and social performance wrapped around private doubt and fast-growing feelings. This playlist mirrors Lee Fiora’s world at Ault School with warm, intimate instrumentals for observation and belonging, then six lyric tracks that echo class friction, identity pressure, and the ache of becoming yourself.
