“Say my name in your sleep” is based on gothic undertones and is loosely inspired by Daphne du Maurier Rebeccaa hallmark of psychological tension and romantic haunting. Peters frames the track as an exploration of past love that lingers, even as you try to move forward. “It’s a song about both haunting and being haunted,” she said, reflecting on the imprint of old relationships on the psyche.

“It’s about keeping a constant eye on the past – on the person you loved – while being old and grown enough to know it wasn’t right, and wishing them well. It’s about having a small, secret sliver of your heart that still, deep down, hopes and prays that they think of you – just a little, just when it’s dark, just when they hear that song, just when they hear it, the radio. letting your shadow linger for a moment long.”

With Mumford’s influence woven into the songwriting and production, the track offers a striking preview of the world Peters builds next – one rooted in emotional depth, sweeping storytelling and a touch of the supernatural.
