What kind of answer do you expect? Making a track specific sounding in a certain way is not just a matter of tools, but also a matter of experience and skills.

If you feel, that your DAW doesn't deliver already the tools you need you can try some big do-it-all package like NI Komplete. But that doesn't also deliver such a track out of the box. You need to compose, produce, mix and master it according to sound like that.

What's a brotha? Is that like a brothel?

I would suggest:

Learning about writing arpeggios with VST Synths, such as Serum 2 or Gladiator by Tone2

Using Pluck synth samples or presets to write melodies like the first track. You can get those from Splice or most sample pack/synth preset developers.

Vocal processing like autotune/melodyne for the pop style vocal

As already noted here, the smart or better Wise answer is that you cannot just make that. While you can aspire, who says that this is in your future? You may, in your ego, aspire to be Drunke, but your Soul's Art may actually be Cannibal Corpse or ABBA. I get trying to decide early and feel like you are laying the god-given truth like a boss, but it doesn't work this way.

Kenny Rogers wanted to be a Swing singer. He got a break in a slightly psychedelic band, then Country happened on him, and the rest is history. Kenny Rogers may not be the first record you reach for, but no one can deny the beauty and pleasure he put in the world by doing what he was meant for. He did make a Swing record later in life - with David Foster so good pedigree in the production - but it was not a great record. I am happy for him that he made that, but he found himself where he needed to be in these lovely Country songs by trusting.

So, put aside the entirely false idea that having the "right" Daw along with the right VSTs, the right Chord Progression... will make you uber and simply start working with what you have right now.

Do - Publish - Do Again

Learn real techniques so that when valid opportunities come along, you can do what the Song Gods need of you at that time (as Kenny did, as Eminem did). The alternative is a life of pain - see the amount of hatefulness slung in places like this by people with no work to show.

Here's my very first. I knew how utterly uncool it was as I was doing it. Most would hide it. I did it and keep it published as it shows that from the very first I was a man on a mission - not to do X but to make Stories. This attitude made all the difference compared to others I have seen over the decades die inside from doing what you are trying - and I did myself for a while - until someone wise helped me see.

I agree with Benedict. Probably the most important thing is you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.
