A slow-motion unraveling anthem that aches, lingers, and follows you home.
Tiger Steffi & The Higher Power aren’t here to plead, they're here to drift. There’s Potential (Wherever U Go) walks the tightrope between self-erasure and soul-attachment, delivering a hazy, quietly devastating anthem for anyone who's ever chased something that might not want to be caught.
From the first breath, the track leans into an acoustic vulnerability. Lyrics like “leaning on ya through the night / cover for me, I’m escaping from the feeling” frame love as both refuge and vice. It’s an emotional comedown wrapped in silk—aching but never explosive, high but never euphoric.
The acoustic guitar feels introspective, while a clock-like percussion keeps time, subtly reminding the listener of how fragile it is. The doubled vocals in the chorus add a rawness that echoes Nirvana’s haunting tone.
The production mirrors the sentiment perfectly. The vocals barely rise above a whisper beside the ending, floating in a thick atmosphere of guitar chords and a skeletal beat made out of percussions and tambourine that sounds more like a pulse than percussion.
The Higher Power (Lu Diaz) keeps everything muted and restrained, like a conversation you don’t want to finish but can’t keep having.
By the time the chorus arrives—“wherever you go, I wanna go”—it’s clear this isn’t about mutual love, but compulsion. That mantra repeats with hypnotic intensity, morphing from romantic to unsettling, revealing the song’s quiet darkness: the desire to follow someone, even if they lead you nowhere.
There’s pain in the timing, in the self-blame, in the understated finality of it all—“maybe it’s bad timing / maybe I’m just bad.” But in that honesty lies the song’s real power: it doesn’t pretend. It floats, it hurts, and it follows. It's a perfect song to listen to while driving at night or while sipping on a herbal tea, it does make you reflect on the potential of life if we strip away the negative emotions. Theres (healing) potential in thing song, wherever u listen to it. But only...if you dare to listen to it.
