Middle of the road on intensity, in the best way. It lurches between soft and loud and never jolts you, over a even texture. A big, expressive vocal out front, at a steady, walkable tempo. Mostly steady, it still leaves a little room to surprise. Across the library, it sits more energetic than 38% of songs, calmer than the rest.

"You Right" climbs hard.
Dynamic range 7/10 places this in our upper band. The opening volume that feels comfortable will not be comfortable at the climax. If you are setting this up for a focused listen, anchor your volume to the quietest section, not the loudest. The arc is the point of the song; if you blunt it by riding the volume knob, you lose what makes it work. Doja Cat and The Weeknd built the dynamic shape on purpose. Plan around it.
