Rocket Power

The Take

Track twenty of *Octane* (digital deluxe v2), 'Rocket Power' is the album's second documented interpolation cut (after 'Sweet Home' on the standard edition), built around a sample of Charli XCX's 'Party 4 U' (originally from her 2020 lockdown-era album *How I'm Feeling Now*). 206Derek produces. The Charli XCX flip is the structural choice: 'Party 4 U' is the kind of cult-favorite hyperpop slow-burn that quietly went platinum years after release, and Don's interpolation recasts the original's neon-ache arpeggiated synth wash into a night-drive ballad consistent with *Octane*'s automotive-imagery vocabulary. The 4:04 runtime makes it the longest deluxe inclusion. The lyric paraphrase: the title's 'rocket power' frames the song around a velocity-as-relationship metaphor that maps directly onto the album's core gasoline-and-tail-lights iconography. As a deluxe variant, the song sits adjacent to rather than continuous with the album's main narrative arc, but the interpolation choice is the most structurally legible link between the *Octane* concept and the deluxe segment: this is the deluxe variant where the album's automotive vocabulary gets one more song to live inside.
