Michael Tuohy Reflects On The Making Of A-Reece’s “Scented Candles/Well Done, Dada”
Michael Tuohy Reflects On The Making Of A-Reece’s “Scented Candles/Well Done, Dada.” When A-Reece unveiled his surprise EP Business As Usual, fans immediately gravitated toward one of its most emotionally stirring tracks, “Scented Candles.”
The song, layered with delicate production and deeply personal lyricism, quickly became a standout. Now, Michael Tuohy—the producer behind the beat—has offered rare insight into the creative magic that brought the track to life and the way it continues to resonate with him today.
After a fan praised Tuohy, writing, “What you did on Scented Candles will never be forgotten my GOAT,” the producer responded with a mix of gratitude and nostalgia. “Thank you, bro, I’m super proud of that beat as well. & I’m not even gonna get started with the song bro made on that beat,” Tuohy said, acknowledging how A-Reece’s storytelling elevated the instrumental into something unforgettable.
He went on to share a personal memory that reveals just how far-reaching the song’s impact has been. “Listening to the song while watching the sunset in Ibiza was a super surreal moment. Italian homie of mine even asked me to replay it like 6 times lol,” Tuohy recalled. For him, “Scented Candles” wasn’t just a track he produced—it became a soundtrack to a once-in-a-lifetime experience, proving the power of music to capture moments and create lasting memories.
The producer’s reflection highlights the collaborative brilliance between himself and A-Reece, a partnership that has consistently birthed tracks that stand the test of time. With Business As Usual debuting at number one across all genres on Apple Music, the EP has already cemented itself as one of A-Reece’s most significant projects this year, and “Scented Candles” is emerging as a fan favourite that embodies the project’s depth.
