On Christmas day in 2008, her first LP was released titled “My Spirit” and it received massive radio airplay in parts of Western Europe, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US. This lead to her first US tour visiting the states of Wisconsin, New Jersey, New York and Florida. The single “10:40pm” was an instant success on tour, becoming the most demanded song for her to perform live with its dramatic chord progressions and solid classic rock ballad feel.
By 2010, Melissa had toured the US, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. She was ready to start work on her next album and the tour brought fresh insight and inspiration. Melissa began working on a new song entitled "Angels and Demons." She teamed with producer Stefan Moessle of Secret Sounds to create the musical arrangement that accompanies the song. They worked hard to develop the dark and sexy instrumentation that would later define Melissa’s innate sound.
While the song had yet to be released officially, it was chosen to be a part of the Sonicbids Indie Showcase on US Airways during the summer of 2011. The opportunity became a great promotional tool as an audience was finding their way to Melissa’s music. In April 2012, the official music video was released on VEVO making Melissa one of the first independent artists to release a music video with the giant video company. Within a few weeks, the video had received close to 50,000 views and the single was becoming a tremendous success for her career.
Due to the success on VEVO and YouTube, Melissa was growing a demand and she went on her first official tour with her musicians titled the Angels and Demons Tour. There, they performed in many major Latin music festivals including several Puerto Rican Day Parades in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut as well as the Brown County Fair in Wisconsin, the NJ State Fair, Six Flags Great Adventure and the Latin Music Festival in Elizabeth, NJ; her birth town, which brought an attendance of several thousand fans.
In October 2012, almost immediately after the success of her tour, Angels and Demons was released on the Rock Band® Network, making it the 4,001 song on their roster. During the same time, the producers from the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms took notice of the track and decided to include it in their following season. On January 1st, 2013, Angels and Demons debuted on Dance Moms, their third season premier with 2.8 million viewers. It was the shows most viewed premier to date, making it a huge success for both Lifetime TV and Melissa. The song was used for the group performance in the In10city Dance Competition in Denver, Colorado.
Let Me Go
Melissa Otero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this lost world
There's no hope with misery
What should I do
Should we meet unexpectedly?
How can I speak?
How do I face
This cruel game?
Let me go
We're over now
Don't you see? We're history,
A memory, not fantasy
And I don't need you in my dreams
If only by chance
We should meet
Would you talk to me?
Or ignore me completely?
What would you do?
What would you say?
Would everything still
Be the same?
Melissa Otero's song "Let Me Go" explores the emotions of a person who is trying to move on from a past relationship. The opening line "In this lost world, there's no hope with misery" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is in a state of despair and questions what she should do when she sees her ex-lover again. The uncertainty of not knowing how to act or what to say is displayed through lyrics such as "How can I speak? What can I say? How do I face this cruel game?"
As the song progresses, the singer comes to a realization that it's time to let go of the past. The chorus becomes more assertive, with the lyrics "Let me go, we're over now. Don't you see? We're history". The singer acknowledges that the relationship is finished, and it's time to move on. The line "And I don't need you in my dreams" reveals that even in the subconscious, the singer wants to release the pain of the past.
The second verse of the song explores the possibility of running into the ex-lover unexpectedly. The singer questions whether they would still speak or ignore her completely. The line "What would you do? What would you say?" showcases the singer's concerns. It's clear that the singer has come to a point in her life where she needs to move forward and put the past behind her.
