Theresa Delivers Masterful Tune ‘Vacation’
Theresa’s latest single, “Vacation,” is shaping up to be the summer’s hottest track. With its upbeat, fun, and vibrant energy, the song channels the lively spirit of a Madonna soundtrack, making it the perfect anthem for sunny days.
“Vacation” was inspired during a stay at the Beloved Playa Mujeres resort in Mexico, where the catchy refrain, “vacation… vacation… let’s get away on holiday,” came to Theresa spontaneously. The song came to life in March 2023 during a songwriting trip to Los Angeles, where Theresa collaborated with Lu D of Mystery Skulls to create the infectious tune in just a few hours. The final production by Mike MacAllister captured the essence of a perfect getaway.
Reflecting on the song, Theresa shared, “It’s such a special song, and I’m happy it took a little longer to finish—I do think it was worth the wait!” With its catchy melody and optimistic lyrics, “Vacation” is poised to be the soundtrack of the summer.
