Erik's passion for singing started when he was still a kid in Malabon. Erik participated in numerous small-town singing competitions.
Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.
Now, with record-breaking chart-toppers from his Platinum debut album (his first single Pagbigyang Muli has stayed on the #1 spot of WRR's hit chart for more than 20 weeks, along with his other songs filling up the charts simultaneously), sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies, Erik has earned mainstream popularity.
Destiny
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I never found you
I never had this feeling in my heart
How did this come to be
I don't know how you found me
But from the moment I saw you
Deep inside my heart I knew
Baby, you're my destiny
With all my heart and soul
I'll give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be my destiny
I wanted someone like you
Someone that I could hold on to
And give my love until the end of time
But forever was just a word (just a word)
Something I'd only heard about
But now you're always there for me
When you say forever, I believe
Baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I'll give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be my destiny
Baby, all we need is just a little faith
'Cause, baby
I believe that love will find a way
Love will find a way baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I'll give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
From now until eternity
You were always meant to be my destiny

What if I never knew
Imagine a scenario where I never had any knowledge or awareness
What if I never found you
Consider a situation where I never encountered or discovered you
I never had this feeling in my heart
The emotion I currently experience was absent from my innermost being
How did this come to be
I am perplexed as to how this situation has manifested
I don't know how you found me
I am unaware of the methods or circumstances by which you located me
But from the moment I saw you
However, starting from the precise instant I laid eyes on you
Deep inside my heart I knew
Within the depths of my heart, I possessed an undeniable knowledge
Baby, you're my destiny
My beloved, you are the preordained purpose and outcome of my life
You and I were meant to be
You and I were fated to exist as a united entity
With all my heart and soul
With the entirety of my being and existence
I'll give my love to have and hold
I offer my affection to possess and secure indefinitely
And as far as I can see
Based on my perception and understanding
You were always meant to be my destiny
You were consistently intended to encompass my predetermined fate
I wanted someone like you
I desired an individual similar to you
Someone that I could hold on to
A person whom I could grasp onto and rely upon
And give my love until the end of time
Additionally, I yearned to shower my affection until eternity
But forever was just a word (just a word)
However, the concept of everlasting seemed to be merely a term without substance
Something I'd only heard about
Something that I had solely been informed or informed of
But now you're always there for me
Nevertheless, currently, you are incessantly present and supportive towards me
When you say forever, I believe
When you express the idea of eternal commitment, I wholeheartedly trust it
Baby, you're my destiny
My beloved, you are the predetermined purpose and outcome of my life
You and I were meant to be
You and I were fated to exist as a united entity
With all my heart and soul
With the entirety of my being and existence

And as far as I can see
Based on my perception and understanding
You were always meant to be my destiny
You were consistently intended to encompass my predetermined fate
Baby, all we need is just a little faith
My beloved, all that is required is a small amount of belief and trust
'Cause, baby
For the reason that, my beloved
I believe that love will find a way
I am convinced that love shall discover a path or resolution
Love will find a way baby, you're my destiny
Love shall uncover a solution, my beloved, as you are the predetermined purpose of my life
You and I were meant to be
You and I were fated to exist as a united entity
With all my heart and soul
With the entirety of my being and existence
I'll give my love to have and hold
I offer my affection to possess and secure indefinitely
And as far as I can see
Based on my perception and understanding
From now until eternity
Starting at this moment until an infinite amount of time
You were always meant to be my destiny
You were consistently intended to encompass my predetermined fate
