“Giants”

(written by weish, performed by Iman Fandi).

“Giants” tells a story of growth from uncertainty and self-doubt to finding one’s own voice not just from within, but from the voices of the people that make us who we are. It is a quiet tribute to the trailblazers that came before us, who inspire us to define our own successes, open doors for others, and build a Singapore that has room for all of us.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Some days I look up and I feel so small
Some days I feel like no one sees me at all
The future tells me I have mountains to climb
How will I know if I can make it so high

[Pre-chorus]
But then I
Catch a smile
Out my window pane
Hear the laugh
Of a child
In a busy train
Find the hand
Of a friend
In a crowded place
And I know that

[Chorus]
I am better with you in my corner
I’ll rise beyond ‘cause
I can stand on the shoulders of giants
With the people of my home

[Verse 2]
These days I look to all the places I’ve been
Today I’ve come to see I’m bigger than me
One day I’ll find the key and open the doors
And when I do I will make room for us all

[Pre-chorus]
Look beyond
As the dawn
Rises from the sea
Find my voice
In our voices
And the space between us
We’ll get by
If we fight
For our wildest dreams
And I know that

[Chorus]
I am better with you in my corner
I’ll rise beyond’ cause
I can stand on the shoulders of giants
With the people of my–
I am better with you in my corner
I’ll rise beyond’ cause
I can stand on the shoulders of giants
With the people of my home

“Sparkle”

(co-written by Gareth Fernandez, Dru Chen, Bang Wenfu & Sikai Goh, performed by Gareth Fernandez and Dru Chen).

At its heart, "Sparkle" is an infectious invitation for Singaporeans to let their hair down, laugh, and lean into the joy of the moment. As a high-energy singalong anthem, it represents a collective celebration of our unique individuality and the vibrant identity we have built together.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Well come on sparkle
Come on sparkle
Come on sparkle
Shine on me

[Verse 1]
You’ve been searchin’
For your special sign
But look within yourself, you’ll see
There’s treasure deep inside
Why waste your time chasing someone’s fantasy
When you could be the one you’re meant to be
So get up off your feet

[Pre-chorus 1]
Don’t let nobody bring you down
You got the soul, the skills to turn that frown around
And when your journey just feels so rough
Pressure makes diamonds, kid, so remember you’re enough

[Chorus]
Cain't nobody move it like you move,
Groove it like you groove, it's alright (It’s alright)
Cain't nobody do the things you do
Finally found it's you - it's alright (It’s alright)

[Hook]
So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine on me
So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine on me

[Verse 2]
You know that you’re magic
Don’t forget that you are
Seasons come and reasons go
And you could be a star
So clap your hands
And stomp your feet
It’s your life
Not make believe
So lift me up
And yourself too
And fly

[Pre-chorus 2]
Don’t let nobody bring you down
Cos you’ve got the soul, the skills to turn that frown around
And when that journey, it gets so rough
Pressure makes diamonds, kid, and you know that you’re enough

[Chorus]
Cain't nobody move it like you move,
Groove it like you groove, it's alright (It’s alright)
Cain’t nobody do the things you do
Finally found it's you - it's alright (It’s alright)

[Hook]
So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine on me

So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine on me

So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine on me

So come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle, come on sparkle baby)
Come on sparkle (Sparkle)
Shine shine shine on me

“You’ll Be Okay”

(co-written by Jasmine Sokko and Josh Wei, performed by Jasmine Sokko).

“You’ll Be Okay” is an electro-pop anthem of resilience and hope for the future. Anchored in the belief that every individual has the power to navigate uncertainty and shape their own path, the song encourages Singaporeans to move forward with confidence, believing in better days ahead amidst the unknown.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Love, you’re feeling kind of down
From all of these emotions
You’re keeping inside
Stop, living in your thoughts
What is the commotion
Keeping you up

[Pre-chorus]
Say you could be wrong
Don't worry too much on
The things out of your control
Don't fret, go with the flow
We don't know
Tomorrow

[Chorus]
You’ll be okay
You’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
You’ll be okay
You’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through

[Verse 2]
Breathe, if you need to pause
All of the commotion
Keeping you up

[Pre-chorus]
Say you could be wrong
Don't worry too much on
The things out of your control
Don't fret, go with the flow
We don't know Tomorrow

[Chorus]
You’ll be okay
You’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
You’ll be okay
You’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
You’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
[We’ve made it alright
We’ve made it okay
We’ve made it alright
We’ve made it okay

[Bridge]
I dream a future where people
Still believe
Amidst the unknown in the world
We breathe
Come what may
We’ll make it through
Again and again and again
I dream a future where fear
Doesn’t get a say
Even though the world shifts beneath our feet
We’ll carry on
Through it all
Together forever together

[Chorus]
We’ll be okay
We’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
We’ll be okay
We’ll be okay
Know it gets different before it gets better
We’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
We’ll be okay
Hold on, we’ll make it through
Hold on, we’ll make it through
[We’ve made it alright
We’ve made it okay
We’ve made it alright
We’ve made it okay

[Outro]
Hold on
