  1. The version on Ana's YouTube is audio watermarked (you'll hear it as a 'click' at 0:09) presumably to prevent against downloading. Let's hope we get an officially released 'clean' version soon!

  2. Update: it's now available on streaming sites but the version uploaded still has the click at 0:09 so either it's meant to be a part of the recording or they've forgotten to remove it!

    1. That 'click' is part of the song, similar to the ones heard at 2:28 and 2:29

  3. I believe it's part of the track, you can hear that click throughout the song several times.
