Every girl has met somebody who makes confidence feel a little more athletic than usual. He walks in and suddenly that cute little plan to play it cool is hanging on by a fucking thread. Admiring him from a distance would be the sensible choice, which sounds boring as hell when there is even a chance he might look back. Lowly Light takes that reckless optimism straight into ‘Untouchable’, where wanting a guy who seems above your pay grade gives you a reason to reach higher and see what happens. There is plenty of ego involved because you have to believe you belong in his orbit before you ever make the move. I have always preferred making the move to spending three fucking hours convincing myself I should leave him alone. Babe, he can reject you after you give him the opportunity to make that terrible decision.
The production on ‘Untouchable’ runs on house-style bass and drums, with alt-pop guitar hooks keeping the groove punchy instead of overly polished. Electro-pop synths open everything around Koda Corvette’s layered vocal, giving her room to sound confident while that streak of vulnerability keeps sneaking through. Lowly Light wrote and produced the track, and the official credits also put Yoad Nevo on the mix with Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound handling the master. It has the energy of walking toward him before you have completely decided what the fuck you are going to say when you get there, which feels appropriate because half the thrill comes from believing you can pull it off.

Koda starts with “I guess I could’ve learned from the books on the shelf / Instead I’m goin’ out into the world to get cuts and bruises for myself.” She would rather collect her own evidence than let anyone hand her a safe instruction manual for life, and I respect the impulse because some lessons really do require making the questionable decision yourself. You can read every warning sign and still decide the hot guy deserves a field study. Then “What I really needed somebody who tell me what I needed / baby it’s you” lets the confidence crack open enough to admit somebody else has gotten through. Nothing fucks with a perfectly good independent-woman monologue faster than meeting the person who can call your bluff, and suddenly all that I-have-this-covered energy has one very inconvenient exception.
That attraction gets bigger with “You are to me / In a stratosphere / untouchable.” She has put him somewhere so high that wanting him automatically comes with intimidation, but the distance is also what makes the chase interesting. She clearly thinks this man is operating on another level and still keeps moving toward him, which takes the song out of crush territory and into pure audacity. I love a woman who can look at somebody intimidating and decide her next move involves getting closer because staring respectfully from across the room has never produced much of a story.

By “Every single day I ask myself how about it? / Are we gonna start it?” she is done letting attraction exist entirely inside her head and wants some fucking movement. There is anticipation here, but she is also pushing for an answer because fantasy eventually needs him to participate. Then he raises the stakes with “You said I’ll teach ya things you never wanted to believe / Bring the little hopes you have in your dreams.” Now the person she has been admiring is promising an experience big enough to change what she thinks is possible, and of course that makes him even harder to resist. A man telling you he can expand your horizons can sound dangerously close to bullshit after two cocktails but every once in a while you want to let him prove the sales pitch. She gives him that opening while keeping enough confidence of her own that the whole thing still feels flirtatious instead of worshipful.
Lowly Light is the recording name of Matt Gorny – an award-winning songwriter and producer who came from an indie-rock background before pushing himself deeper into electronic music around 2020. His work has included collaborations with Ultra Naté and Amanda Lepore, while releases such as ‘Find A Way’ and ‘Impossible Possibility’ have kept his nu-disco side busy. Koda Corvette brings a hell of a résumé of her own. The Portland-born Swiss-American artist started singing and playing piano as a kid, moved to Los Angeles as a teenager and later opened for Tori Kelly and Becky G. She also works as a producer-engineer and opened Empress Studios LA in 2024 as a community space for women in music. So apparently putting these two together was always going to produce something with a lot of confidence in the room.
By the end, that crush has started to feel a lot more attainable. ‘Untouchable’ understands that attraction gets a lot more fun once you stop psyching yourself out and one of them finally goes for it. Lowly Light keeps the whole fantasy cocky while Koda lets the vocal show how much she actually wants this. You can think he is incredible and still believe you deserve a shot at him and honestly I would rather risk one bruised ego than spend the rest of the night wondering what would have happened if I had walked over.
