Production and composition
"Ghost" is a four-minute, eighteen-second song[1] described by Vibe as an "electro retro funk" track with harmonies influenced from disco.[2] "Ghost" is about wanting to "disappear completely and start over" again, as it was inspired by Dubuc relocating from Dallas to Los Angeles without letting anyone know.[2] The concept of the song is sung in the hook "This time I might just disappear."[3] He described it as "really special song. The moment I wrote it, I thought, 'Wow, this could really be something."[4] Written and produced by Dubuc, the original mix that appears on Mystery Skulls' debut album Forever was mixed by Jeremy Wheatley for 365 Artists at 4db Studios in London, with Adam Looker assisting. Colin Leonard mastered the track at SING Mastering in Atlanta using SING Technology.[5]
