Critics and fans on Reddit describe the track as a departure from Bayer's typical melodic trance, leaning into a reminiscent of 2012-era EDM. Tempo: 128 BPM. Key: A Minor.
Community reviews are somewhat polarized due to the track's aggressive sound:
Other long-time fans expressed disappointment, calling the production "generic" or "shitty big room" compared to his previous melodic and experimental work.
"If You Loop It, They Will Come" is a high-energy club track released in 2022 on Anjunabeats as part of Andrew Bayer's fourth studio album, Duality . It originally debuted as a double A-side alongside "What Is Real (with Vök)."
According to the artist, the track is deeply personal and serves as a conceptual response to his struggles with mental health. While its companion track "What Is Real" explores the difficulty of treating depression, "If You Loop It, They Will Come" represents the "eternal loop of knowing what is real and what isn't". It is intended to "snap [the listener] back into a focused reality".
