BACKGROUND RESERACH

People often tend to conceal their true selves, shifting their emotions like disposable masks, adapting to meet societal expectations and projecting happiness. Yet, when the spotlight fades and there's no audience to impress, one must question whether they are genuinely content.

Euphoria

Reference for Styling and Production

Euphoria, derived from the ancient Greek “εὐφορία”, means lightness and lasting strength. In medicine it is taken as a state of mind and emotion. A happy, carefree, exhilarated, exceptionally happy, excited, joyful mood. Technically, euphoria is a behavior in psychology, but the term is often used colloquially to describe a mood swing of transcendent happiness and overwhelming satisfaction with things. It is also defined as an emotional state that exhibits exaggerated happiness or exhilaration. Euphoria is widely considered to be a pathological physical and psychological state, sometimes achieved through the use of psychotropic drugs, rather than a mental state obtained in a normal way in humans. However, some natural behaviors, such as orgasm, love, or winning a race as an athlete, can induce this state of euphoria for short periods of time.
