Written by Imogen Heap, "Aha" is on her third album Ellipse.



"Aha" is about hypocrites - the ones who say one thing but end up doing the exact opposite.

"Wheat, meat, diary free, t-total/so happy clappy high on life/you should try it you know/go on while no one's looking/A-ha caught you now/caught you red handed in the biscuit tin/cost you to keep me quiet..."

The music to this song is fast paced. At times it's even chaotic as if there's a million sounds playing at once-the lyrics have a back story of an even that happen with one of Heap's vegan buddies of eating an egg filled biscuit. Some stanzas are short since it helps Heap to sing at a fast pace. Vocally Heap's singing also gets chaotic with the music since she quickly changes her vocal range within the song.

This song gets a rating of three out of five stars. Even though Heap makes the melody and vocals chaotic on purpose, it may be off putting to some listeners.
