In conjunction with the launch of the VivoCity flagship store, adidas has released an anthem titled “Who Could Imagine” in collaboration with local musicians Rauzan Rahman (Producer), MEAN (Rapper), Mickey Leano (Rapper/Singer), PRAV (Beatmaker) and Weish (Vocalist).

“Who Could Imagine” by Rauzan Rahman, MEAN, Mickey Leano, Weish and PRAV

Spliced between heavy trap-inspired beats and synths are motivational lyrics that remind you that “impossible is nothing”.

The chorus, sung by Weish, is an avid description of the runner’s high—the moment when you surpass your limits and as Weish puts it, ‘run free in your mind’—a liberation from the inertia you may have felt on a bad day, or when you’re stuck in a rut.

MEAN opens with bars, speaking of an athlete’s journey, often not knowing where it leads but staying the course, knowing well that this path is yours to own. Sometimes, you ‘almost made it out the wrong way’ but you own that moment with a ‘lay-up’—MEAN captures the athlete’s grit and how believing in yourself is key.

Mickey is handed the baton at the second verse, which he delivers with a rhythmic R&B flow with rap, capturing the confidence an athlete needs to survive. ‘Take aim, release, I came to win and achieve’, Mickey reminds us to always keep our eyes on the prize, setting the highest standards for ourselves and never giving up.

PRAV knocks the song out of the park by dropping mixed trap 808 drum patterns layered with a vocal sample, switching it up with massive bassline drops before Weish closes with a duet with MEAN.

You can listen to the full track on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes.
