The high pitch note is around an F#6, creating a dissonant note not found in the key (i.e the tritone or augmented forth).
The piece is in C major and features a tempo of quarter note equals fifty-six beats per minute, a time signature of four-four, and has a pickup and seven measures. The track also borrows chords various other piano keys.
Title will keep repeating as long as the game's title screen is open.

Musical analysis

The two starting notes is a major sixth. This interval is widely used to convey lyrical and passionate themes in music with examples ranging from Star Wars (Leia's theme), Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2 in E-flat major as well as Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune.
It is often referred to as The interval of yearning and is often associated with childlike joy and innocence. While there may be different interpretations it is generally agreed it sounds sweet and pleasant.
