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.
Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin/Narito Medley
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kahit ika'y wala sa aking piling
Isang magandang alaala
Isang kahapong lagi kong kasama
Ikaw ang lahat sa akin
Kahit ika'y 'di ko dapat ibigin
Dapat ba kitang limutin
Kung ang sinisigaw ikaw ang lahat sa akin
At kung hindi ngayon ang panahon
Upang ikaw ay mahalin bukas na walang hanggan
Doo'y maghihintay pa rin
Narito ang puso ko
Inaalay lamang sa 'yo
Aking pangarap kahit saglit
Ang ikaw at ako'y magkapiling
Minsan pang makita ka
Damdamin ay sumasaya
Lungkot napapawi buhay ko'y ngingiti
Sa sandaling pag-ibig mo'y makamit
Puso ko'y narito naghihintay sa pag-ibig mo
Ikaw lamang ang inaasam
Tanggapin mo ang puso ko
Hanggang matapos ang kailanman
Kahit 'di malaman o maintindihan
Kahit na masugatan ang puso
Naghihintay sa 'yo maghihintay ako
Kung hindi ngayon ang panahon
Upang ikaw ay mahalin bukas na walang hanggan
Ako'y maghihintay pa rin
Narito maghihintay pa rin
The lyrics of Erik Santos's song "Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin/Narito Medley" express a deep and unwavering love for someone who holds immense significance in the singer's life. The song begins by declaring that this person is everything to the singer, even when they are not physically present. It is a beautiful memory and a constant companion in the singer's life. The lyrics acknowledge that the singer should not have fallen in love with this person, but it is impossible to ignore such intense emotions. The singer wonders how they can suppress or control their feelings when their soul is screaming that this person is everything to them.
The chorus emphasizes that even if it is not the right time to fully express this love, the singer is willing to wait until eternity in the hopes of being able to love this person completely. It is a heartfelt declaration of devotion and a willingness to endure any pain or heartache in the pursuit of love.

Ikaw ang lahat sa akin
You are everything to me
Kahit ika'y wala sa aking piling
Even if you are not by my side
Isang magandang alaala
A beautiful memory
Isang kahapong lagi kong kasama
A day I am always with
Kahit ika'y 'di ko dapat ibigin
Even if I shouldn't love you
Dapat ba kitang limutin
Should I forget about you
'Pano mapipigil ang isang damdamin
How can one restrain their emotions
Kung ang sinisigaw ikaw ang lahat sa akin
When what I shout is that you are everything to me
At kung hindi ngayon ang panahon
And if now is not the time
Upang ikaw ay mahalin bukas na walang hanggan
To love you endlessly tomorrow
Doo'y maghihintay pa rin
I will still wait
Narito ang puso ko
Here is my heart
Inaalay lamang sa 'yo
Devoted only to you
Aking pangarap kahit saglit
My dream, even for a moment
Ang ikaw at ako'y magkapiling
You and I being together
Minsan pang makita ka
To see you once more
Damdamin ay sumasaya
My feelings become happy
Lungkot napapawi buhay ko'y ngingiti
Sadness disappears, my life will smile
Sa sandaling pag-ibig mo'y makamit
In the moment I attain your love
Puso ko'y narito naghihintay sa pag-ibig mo
My heart is here waiting for your love
Ikaw lamang ang inaasam
Only you am I longing for
Tanggapin mo ang puso ko
Accept my heart
Hanggang matapos ang kailanman
Until forever ends
Kahit 'di malaman o maintindihan
Even if I don't know or understand
Kahit na masugatan ang puso
Even if my heart gets hurt
Naghihintay sa 'yo maghihintay ako
I will wait for you, I will wait
Kung hindi ngayon ang panahon
And if now is not the time
Upang ikaw ay mahalin bukas na walang hanggan
To love you endlessly tomorrow
Ako'y maghihintay pa rin
I will still wait
Narito maghihintay pa rin
Here, I will still wait
