Cocoon was co-written by ÁLI, Simon Wilcox and Producer Thomas Tawgs Salter. Cocoon encapsulates a personal story of renewal, the result of a path filled with struggle, pain, risk and reward.
“Renaming herself ÁLI and delving into a sound that she says incorporates her classical origins in opera, and is rooted by her love of Scandinavian culture...she’s come out with a track that encapsulates this transformation... it’s a euphoric dancepop track, with a pop-opera middle eight breakdown...post-chorus, and outro. And it’s bloody good.” - Karl Batterbee, Scandipop.co.uk.
ÁLI is a warrior who is only now beginning her new journey. When asked about her reincarnation, ÁLI philosophizes: “New and old, pop and opera; everyone and everything is connected in the UniverseofÁLI.”
"A warrior of days past meets with her present self. The circle is complete. Contrast is balance restored. Now is the time for action." - ÁLI

Thinking about us
What we could've been
Before I ruined us
I made mistakes, I know
Should've never let you go
I've been thinking lately
How you'll always be my maybe
Without you, I swear, I feel blind
My world's so dark and you're my light
No matter what, it all comes back to you
I'm tryna move on, live my life
I look around and see your smile
No matter what, it all comes back to you
I've been thinking 'bout you
Every night, not sleepin'
Stayin' up and watching stars
Wishin' you're out there, you're dreaming
I've wishin' for you
Talking to the moon and stars
Telling them all about the way I feel
And asking how you are
Without you, I swear, I feel blind
My world's so dark and you're my light
No matter what, it all comes back to you
I'm tryna move on, live my life
I look around and see your smile
No matter what, it all comes back to you
If I were to tell my truth and confess all the things I've done
Would you maybe take me back and forgive all the wrongs I've wronged?
And if I could open up my heart and ask for one more time
Would you tell me that it's all okay and that we'll be alright?
Without you, I swear, I feel blind
My world's so dark and you're my light
No matter what, it all comes back to you
I'm tryna move on, live my life
I look around and see your smile
No matter what, it all comes back to you

Staying awake to gaze at the stars in hopes of some connection with you
Wishin' you're out there, you're dreaming
Hoping that you are somewhere out there, dreaming of me
I've wishin' for you
My desires and longings are directed towards you
Talking to the moon and stars
Engaging in imaginary conversations with celestial bodies about my emotions for you
Telling them all about the way I feel
Expressing and sharing my emotions with the moon and stars
And asking how you are
Inquiring about your well-being and state of being
If I were to tell my truth and confess all the things I've done
If I were to be completely honest and disclose all my actions and mistakes
Would you maybe take me back and forgive all the wrongs I've wronged?
Is there a possibility that you would consider reconciling with me and pardoning my past errors?
And if I could open up my heart and ask for one more time
If I could vulnerably express my feelings and request another opportunity
Would you tell me that it's all okay and that we'll be alright?
Would you assure me that everything is fine and that we will overcome our challenges?
