Mocca is an Indonesian music band formed in 1997 in Bandung, Indonesia. The band's musical style is inspired by the retro sounds of the 70s, with influences of swing, bossa nova, pop and jazz.

The story began when two best friends: -- Arina and Riko -- got together in a college band. After a year of struggling with the boredom of performing other people's music, they decided to write their own songs.

In 1997 they composed four songs, unfortunately, those songs weren’t well accepted by the other members of the band. After caught up in conflicts and tons of disagreements, the band decided to split up leaving Arina and Riko mystified with their deserted materials.

Their debut album "My Diary" contains 13 songs written from a girl's point of view and her diary entries. The album starts with a Once Upon A Time and is followed by a song telling of a first encounter with her Secret Admirer. Then after much hesitation in Twist Me Around, she decides to go steady with the boy in Me & My Boyfriend. In Telephone they break up, understanding that When the Moonlight Shines, they just weren't meant for each other and thus, Rain Will Fall, Life Keeps On Turning.

From waltz and bossa nova to '70s disco and rock, each song (written in English) has a different beat determined by the girl's mood. When playing live, MOCCA is supported by six additional players on keyboards, guitar, percussion, trumpet, trombone and sax.

My Only One
Mocca Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had a fight last night
And I called him: "mad!"
Makes me feel so sad
And I'm so ashamed

He's my only one
I give him all my love
Even though my mom says: "No!"

I just go on and on..

No one's gonna take him away from me..

Everyday and every night
I just wanna hold him tight and make sure that everything stays right
And everyday and every night

To dream of him is my delight and know that
He'll stay with me all the way

We had a fight last night
We argued the previous night

And I called him: "mad!"
I insulted him by calling him crazy

Makes me feel so sad
It makes me feel sorrowful

And I'm so ashamed
I feel regret and humiliation

He's my only one
He is the only one for me

I give him all my love
I give him all of my affection

Even though my mom says: "No!"
Despite my mother's disapproval

I just go on and on..
I continue to persist

No one's gonna take him away from me..
No one will separate us

Everyday and every night
All day and night

I just wanna hold him tight and make sure that everything stays right
I want to intimately embrace him and ensure everything is well
