    Maybe switch up the drums and bass a bit more, add some FX. Switch it up and make it more intense. Like, maybe a part where the bass detunes, and slides down with the drums having some sort of effect.

    sounds like you need to learn a bit of musical theory too, quite a lot of this has key clashes and sounds iffy.

    read up on piano scales and progressions. also watch a bunch of video tutorials, track seems lacking lots of elements.
    In it for the long haul.

    iv never written up on scales or anything but have also played guitar or some instrument, but i find you should be able to just tell when it sounds out?

    Yeh but some people really can't tell tho thats the thing. Ive been working with music since i was like 4 years old and its just obvious if somethings out. Like people who think they can sing when in fact they REALLY cant, same scenario.

    learning and understanding scales makes life a million times easier and a lot more musically audible imo. Find a tune you like, find what key its in, find the scale on the piano, use those notes, everything sounds nice
