Khalil Fong 《Orange Moon》

Hong Kong-based singer-songwriter Khalil Fong is releasing his fourth album Orange Moon. Taking in influences from soul, jazz, R&B, and adult contemporary music, he has established a unique musical world of his own. Included in his highly anticipated new album will be his new single "Everybody Will", a song written for Cartier's charity project, which is consistent with his usual theme of love. Khalil's soft vocals match with Lin Xi's lyrical words to make this heartwarming number carrying the notion that "everybody can hold out a hand to the people mired in difficulties".

Having spent his childhood in Shanghai, Khalil decided to shoot the album cover in that city for the romantic feeling she inspires. The album title is similarly romantic, conjuring up images of a setting sun in the dusk sky. The first plug Singalongsong is thematically a follow-up of Love Song from his last album. This English single opens the album, and its Mandarin version "The Song Written for You", penned by Arthur Ma, is available as a bonus track.

"Singalongsong"

Composer: Khalil Fong
Lyricist: Khalil Fong

I wrote this song it's not too long
Cause I've been thinking about you
I wrote this song maybe I'm wrong
to be caught up about you

Well I don't know what you think about me
Maybe you think nothing at all
But, maybe you could just lie to me
And we could be in love, you see

*Oh it's a sing along song
that's not too long
It's when I think about you that I hear songs
and you can sing along maybe if you won't want to
Cause baby I wrote this, I wrote this for you

I wrote this song it's not too long
Cause I'm the one who loves you
I wrote this song this can't be wrong
I don't wanna smile without you

Well I just want to make you happy
But maybe you want nothing at all
and how I wish that you're meant to be
forever and a day with me

Repeat *

In every way you mean more to me
then you'll ever know
Girl, I'll do my best to show these words are true
And if you like to make a song
and be a perfect harmony with me
I find the greatest words to sing
so we could write our own romance
Repeat **

Cause baby I wrote this, I wrote this for you
