After a long stint acting in movies and TV, Aubrey Caraan returns to her first love, music.
The singer-actress is back with a brand new single titled “Sana.”
Aubrey co-wrote this surging, mid-tempo R&B flavored pop track with Sean Cedro.
It is her first foray into songwriting.
She related, “It’s my first time to co-write. And Sean (Cedro) convinced me to try it. It was hard at first but eventually I was able to enjoy the process.”
Aubrey eventually learned so many things.
“Mahirap pala kung ilalagay mo sa lyrics yung nararamdaman mo. Hindi pala dapat siya literal. Dapat may meaning, may puso, may bigat (ang mga lyrics). Dun ako nahirapan, but once we knew the direction of where the song wanted to go, it became a smoother writing process for me.”
Aubrey added that “Sana” is “about wishful love, it’s about a dream that you want to become a reality, and it’s also about hope.”
And what does she hope and dream for?
“I’ve been doing this for a long time now, I started as a music artist, even before I acted in movies, sana I have a long career doing these things, especially music.”
“Ang meron kasi sa music na hindi ko mahahanap sa iba is yung puso,” said Aubrey of what keeps her coming back to music.
“Sa music kasi nag-ko connect lahat. I mean, different songs mean different things to me, some songs give me hope, gives me happiness, or relieves my stress. Iba talaga ang nabibigay sa kin ng music, Aubrey explains.
“That’s why I keep on pushing on doing this. It gives me so much and music does really help me in many ways as a person.”
“I’m definitely going to write some more. I really enjoyed doing it and for me, I feel good singing my own song. It feels different.”
“I feel proud singing my own song.”
Aubrey Caraan will release her official music video for “Sana” (directed by Raymond Fabian and featuring Jairus Aquino) on YouTube, today, November 11.
