He is dubbed as the 'Prince of Pop'.

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.

Suddenly It's Magic
Erik Santos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always thought I would be strong
If I made it through the pain
Well, I’m in and out of love
And it all hurts just the same, oh yeah
Love can really change your life
There’s something magic in my world tonight

I feel so free it’s like a fantasy

Havin’ you next to me suddenly it’s magic
One look, one touch
Once just don’t say enough
When you fall in love
Suddenly, suddenly it’s magic

I’m not afraid of letting go
I’ve got to find what’s right for me
I’m not afraid to stand alone
If that’s the way it has to be
After all that I’ve been through
There’s magic when I’m near with you

It’s like a fantasy havin’ you next to me
Suddenly it’s magic

One look, one touch
Once just don’t say enough
When you fall in love
Suddenly, suddenly it’s magic

We can dream our dreams forever
When I’m here with you
Baby, heaven’s a heartbeat away
Now that we’re together
Love will last forever
There’s magic in my life with you, you
Suddenly it's magic chorus
I feel so free it’s like a fantasy
Havin’ you next to me suddenly it’s magic

One look, one touch
Once just don’t say enough
When you fall in love
Suddenly, suddenly it’s magic

When you fall in love suddenly it’s magic

I always thought I would be strong
I used to believe that I could withstand anything

If I made it through the pain
As long as I survived the suffering

Well, I’m in and out of love
But now, I find myself experiencing love's ebb and flow

And it all hurts just the same, oh yeah
And regardless, it still feels painful

Love can really change your life
Love has the power to transform one's entire existence

There’s something magic in my world tonight
In this moment, there is an enchanting aura surrounding my world

I feel so free it’s like a fantasy
I feel liberated, as if I am living in a dream

Havin’ you next to me suddenly it’s magic
Having you by my side is a remarkable and extraordinary experience

One look, one touch
A single glance, a gentle caress

Once just don’t say enough
Once is insufficient to convey the depth of my emotions

When you fall in love
When you surrender to love

Suddenly, suddenly it’s magic
Suddenly, everything becomes inexplicably magical

I’m not afraid of letting go
I have no fear of releasing what no longer serves me

I’ve got to find what’s right for me
I must discover what truly aligns with my being

I’m not afraid to stand alone
I am unafraid to be on my own

If that’s the way it has to be
If that is my destined path

After all that I’ve been through
Despite all the hardships I have endured

There is a mystical sensation whenever I am in your presence

It feels like an enchanting dream having you by my side

We can dream our dreams forever
We have the ability to keep dreaming for eternity

When I’m here with you
Whenever I am with you

Baby, heaven’s a heartbeat away
My love, heaven is merely a heartbeat apart

Now that we’re together
Now that we have united

Love will last forever
Love will endure eternally

There’s magic in my life with you, you
You bring enchantment into my life, my love

Suddenly it's magic chorus
Suddenly, everything becomes enchantingly magical

When you fall in love suddenly it’s magic
When you surrender to love, everything becomes magically extraordinary
