The soundscape of the single was meticulously crafted with a unique production and arrangement, which is interlaced with rhythmic vocals, gorgeous harmonies, with sonic bursts of colour including a bright saxophone top-line. Accompanying the release, is a striking music video which seamlessly encapsulates the vulnerability of the lyrics. Propelled with exquisite choreography and unique visual footage, the video is an extension of the bands contemporary creative vision.

Further explaining how the song came together Daniel, from the band, explains, “‘Defectively’ was a big step for us as a band because it set apart what we did before and what we were about to do as a group. Bruno Tubino wrote ‘Defectively’ with his ex-girlfriend in a moment of extreme tension. We often feel the guilt of not being perfect and we try to be a flawless being, and it’s impossible to stick to this kind of goal. The song expresses acceptance and non-attachment towards this perfect ideal.”
