notes
A shimmering, high synth pad glitters over the rolling 808 bass, giving the track its title-referencing sparkle. Inferred by ear; no confirmed patch details exist. Instrument choice is approximated from the Metro Boomin/Southside/DJ Spinz/Zaytoven Atlanta trap production camp credited on this record: FL Studio built around a Roland TR-808-style sub bass with Sylenth1/Nexus-style bell and pluck leads for the melodic hooks, not a documented per-song patch sheet.
