A deliberate homage to the iconic “Steptro” from Steps’ debut album 'Step One' — the very first album Robert ever bought, and the one that ignited his lifelong love of pop. The rapidly accelerating heartbeat and swelling synths recreate the feeling of anticipation and excitement that defined that era. Robert and Gareth, who first connected through their shared love of Steps, crafted “Intro” as both tribute and tone-setter: a pulse-racing gateway into the world of 'Severance', preparing the listener for the euphoric trance energy of “Save You”.
