'Chameleon' reflects Sen's artistic evolution and personal journey
Chameleon is described as a pop anthem that reflects Sen's artistic evolution. The song explores themes of transformation and self-definition, drawing on her background in music.

Sen, who studied music from a young age under her mother's guidance, said Chameleon was born out of a personal space.
