«The Sound of People Buying», the first single of Melodies In My Head, is a joyful dance pop song about consumerism. It features singer and performer Christophe Jaquet (Switzerland) as a fictional character who enjoys watching people buy things they possibly won’t need. Singer Kacey Moore (Ghana) takes side with workers in the Port of Chittagong (Bangladesh) and Swiss Post Paketzentrum Härkingen (Switzerland): «I hear the sound of people buying. Grading their lives with bright colours.» The song ends with singer and performer Philippe Wicht (Switzerland) worrying that no one likes his latest post on social media.

Lyrics: Thomas Burkhalter and Christophe Jaquet
Vocals: Christophe Jaquet, Philippe Wicht and Sophie Adam recorded in Bern at Filewile Studio
