First of all, you missed the teaser wave, and you shouldn't be releasing a fulll song if you plan on submitting it for Balloon Party.
As for feedback, the first thing that I notice is that there is a lot of compresssion, far too much. The mix overall sounds flat, and everything sounds like its fighting for headroom. When it comes to your drop, there seems to be very little in the way of variation, and the breakdowns also lack variation, and the constant bells throughout do get a little samey.
The overall vibe is decent, and the chord progression works fine, you just need to make drastic improvements to the mix, and look into ways of adding interest, through rhythm variation, perhaps a couple of deviations from the chord progression, and maybe a counter melody. Think progressive, make each drop more complex and diverse than the last, so that when the listener reaches the end they want to relisten to experience that build up again.
