The influence of Hallyu in the Philippines is making a big impact on the local music scene. A lot of Filipinos desire to start their career in Korea. One of them is Christian Saraos, also known as C13. He appeared in 2018 on MBC's survival show, Under Nineteen.
With his excellent dance skills and attractive rap, he is making his own music after his stint in Under Nineteen.
Stay is a LoFi emotional song. The lyrics depict longing that you can't see in front of you but always remain clear in someone's memory. When you listen to the song, it sounds off the unique chemistry of the guitar and the sweet voice of C13. KnockLoud, a rookie production team, produced the said single.
Here's a quick interview with Christian Saraos. Learn more about him.
Christian Saraos: Stay is a song about realizing that you still love the person/people (even) when they’re already gone. The song was inspired by C13’s past relationship and the passing away of his dad.
