If It Makes You Happy

by Julie Olivia

A warm-but-restless mix that mirrors the book’s push-pull between reassurance and self-questioning—threads of tenderness, recovery, and hard-earned clarity. The instrumental half creates room to think, while the vocal half supplies intimate emotional color for the story’s shifting relationships and moods.
