A quick jam with my pile-o'-synths™. I'm not the happiest with my timing at ~1:30 but such is fawm.
I don't usually write Happy Major Key Songs, but when I do, I'm not subtle about it. This may cause you to experience a sugar crash, and you may need to listen to some emo tracks afterwards as a palate cleanser.
none, although the lead synth starting at ~1:00 could totally be swapped with lyrics and maybe I'll write some

YES. I can see three dudes with extremely varied light wash jean jackets leaned against the side of a graffiti covered wall on a late afternoon in LA nodding in time to this with super serious expressions and enormous square sunglasses on.
(Also, objectively great jam, loved experiencing it.)

Oh I'm all for this kind of happy upbeat electro sugar!
Really liking the feel of this. Its boppy - the kind of vibe that makes me lean to one side, bop, then lean to the other side, bop, then repeat while my head is tilted and a stupid smile on my face.
Dig the synth you bring in at :16, like an old school synthy organ. Everything you're playing is definitely happy major key song stuff, especially the melody at 1:00. Love this kind of stuff when sugary candy cheese sounds are used.
That change at 1:30 is super cool, sounds so good - no timing issues detected here.
Enjoyed this!

Your liner notes made me chuckle. A little sugar rush, but nothing wrong with that. At the "bridge" around 1:30, try bringing the filter down on the bass sound, just for a bit of a change. Or maybe quarters instead of 8ths, then bring the motion back. Nice job.

This is a real day brightener. I enjoy how cheery and upbeat it is. The synth sounds are all cool. I'm getting Howard Jones vibes. This also has a cinematic quality. Like it could be used for a montage.

What a nice happy little piece. I could see this working well in a children's TV show or movie.
