“My City” Turns a Lover Into a Skyline as Barkley, Lanna, and Jaime Deraz Bottle Downtown Euphoria Into Dance-Pop

Released September 21, 2018, the track pairs upbeat summer dance-pop energy with lyrics that frame romance as a place you keep returning to, even when it leaves you breathless. The result is equal parts euphoria and emotional whiplash, a song that moves like city lights: bright, fast, and impossible to ignore.

“My City” thrives on the idea that some relationships feel like an environment, not just a person. They change your mood, your pace, your gravity. They make you feel alive, and they make you feel lost, sometimes in the same chorus.

A skyline metaphor that makes the feeling instantly visual

The track’s central line lands like a mission statement: “Our love is up and down like a skyline.” In one image, the song captures the emotional architecture of the relationship, highs that feel cinematic, lows that arrive without warning, and a constant sense of motion in between.

That rush deepens with “Your view it makes me high,” a lyric that frames attraction as altitude. The person becomes a vantage point, the kind that makes everything feel bigger and brighter, even if it is not stable. Then the hook locks it in: “You are my city.” It is a simple line, but it carries the whole concept, love as a place you live in, not always safely, but fully.

Why it POPS! 🍬

“My City” resonates because it names something people feel but rarely describe so clearly: the way certain romances become their own world. They have their own weather, their own lights, their own gravity. Barkley, Lanna, and Jaime Deraz turn that feeling into a dance-pop track that feels euphoric, chaotic, and addictive in the best way.

It is a summer anthem with a clear concept, a hook you can shout back, and the kind of energy that makes you want to go back downtown, even if you know it might wreck you.
