Gaudencio A. Sillona III, popularly known as Jay-R, was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He was 2nd year college, taking up Computer Engineering, in Devry University in L.A. when he decided to come here and fulfill his dream... to become a singer.
He was once a part of a group named FI (First Impression). The group consisted of 5 guys namely: Mike Gabriel, Alex Bacani, Jayr Sillona, Jimmy Martinez (who came with Jay-R to Manila) and Owen Amurao. When Mike, Owen and Alex went their separate ways, Jay-R and Jimmy continued the group by adding another talented singer named Kris Cadevida. They would do gigs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Michigan.
Jay-R also belonged to a band that was lead by his Uncle, Robert Sillona. The band was called The Howlers. Being part of his uncle’s band was a huge part in Jay-R’s career... it taught him the ways of the stage!
He is currently signed under Universal Records. His first album, aptly titled ‘Game Face’, has 12 tracks on it, containing 2 original Tagalog songs: “Kaibigan”, written by his sister, Jhing Sillona; and “Bakit Pa Ba?” written by Vehnee Saturno. Most of the other songs on the album are RnB. He writes and produces his own songs. His first single “Design for Love” is a hip-hop/ RnB single that exhibits Jay-R’s amazing talent in singing and dancing.

What You Won't Do for Love
Jay R Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you won't do
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, you do for love
You tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you make me do
For love what I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
I know I only want the best, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, you do for love
You've tried everything but you won't give up
In my world, only you make me do
For love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
The song "What You Won't Do for Love" by Jay R is a love song about someone who is willing to do anything for their significant other. The first stanza speaks of the singer searching for love and coming back to the one they love. The second stanza talks about the singer being in a daze from the person's love and willing to go to great lengths for them. The chorus highlights the idea that people will go to great lengths for love even if it means going around the world and not necessarily finding it. The bridge talks about how the singer's love is unique and that they are willing to do anything for them.
The lyrics suggest that love can be all-consuming as the singer is in a daze from their love. The chorus emphasizes that people will do anything for love, and the singer is no exception. The song is a testament to how love can make a person act in ways they never thought possible. The use of "make me do for love what I would not do" in the ending emphasizes that love can make someone do things that are out of character, but those actions come from a place of passion and devotion.
