FREE ME by RAIN IN APRIL features a simple yet effective instrumental and lyrical arrangement. The track is driven by a prominent Afro-Beat drum pattern with shakers that are groovy, punchy and most importantly bouncy which provides a solid foundation for the rest of the elements. The main melodic element is a repeating dark synth riff that is played in most parts of the song, providing a catchy hook that is easy to sing along to. The piano is also accompanied by a subtle synth pad that adds a touch of dark trippy feeling to the track. In addition to these core elements, there are occasional flourishes of other instruments, such as a bell section that appears briefly before the chorus, adding a touch of grandeur to the song. The bassline is deep and groovy, giving the song a sense of weight and movement.
