Initially inspired by the beat, Schia recalls getting the itch to pen a song despite having a deadline for her coursework. The thrill of a looming deadline got her creative juices flowing and she finished the melody in one sitting.

‘La Vida Loca’ was written as a fun song thus the United Kingdom-based singer focused less on punchlines and more on the beat and melody. This shows in the expert way she played with her flow throughout the song, switching it up like a rollercoaster.
