“It’s like entering a world shaped by colors, sounds, and words that bring life to the everyday,” Studioghela says of the song, which she describes as “a reflection on what it’s like to be loved by an artist, expressed through artworks, poetry, and music.” She offers a special and magical kind of affection by using her artistic ability to transform even the most basic motions into imaginative expressions.
The lyrics of “To Be Loved By Me” perfectly convey this idea. With phrases like “To be loved by me means all the songs I wrote are about you” and “To be loved by me is receiving mail full of handwritten letters,” Studioghela draws listeners into her world, where love intersects with creativity and intimate relationships. Her line, “To be loved by me is better than having six figures,” encapsulates the essence of her artistic love and highlights the value of emotional wealth over worldly riches in a playful way.
Her repeated refrain, “Mananalangin kay Bathala sa dasal ika’y kasama,” which translates to “Praying to God that you are with me,” reaches the climax of the emotion. This refrain blends love and spirituality, emphasizing the sacredness of her feelings.
The song was written by Studioghela herself and produced by Stephen Joshua “SJ” Estabillo, CEO of SJE STUDIOS. Estabillo not only produced the track but also handled the mixing and mastering, ensuring that the final product reflects Studioghela’s vision. The song’s lyrical depth is complemented by an official lyric video, now available on VEVO and YouTube, allowing fans to engage with her words on a visual platform.
This release follows “Kalendaryo,” marking a much-welcome entry into her discography. Studioghela’s “To Be Loved By Me” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via SJE STUDIOS.
