Likened to 松田聖子, she won a singing contest and was signed to a Japanese recording company at the age of 15.
After completing her O-level examinations in Singapore, Olivia moved to Japan to further her studies and career as a solo artist. There, she became a member of a Japanese pop (J-pop) group called Mirai, before she released her bestselling debut, "A Girl Meets Bossa Nova" at only 19.
With her sultry, soulful and innocent vocals, she has since done her reinterpretation of Frank Sinatra's "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" as well as other jazz and pop numbers.
Part of the wave of Singaporean talents being exported internationally, Olivia has, by far, been the only pop sensation exported exclusively to Japan, while previous stars such as 陳潔儀, 蔡健雅 and 孫燕姿 have only been exporting to the Greater Chinese market through Hong Kong and Taipei.
In 2009, Olivia signed to Taiwanese company HIM International Music and released her first album under HIM in March of 2010.
MAKE IT WITH YOU
Olivia Ong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really Reaching Out For the Other Side?
I May Be Climbing On Rainbows
But, Baby Here Goes.
Dreams They're For Those Who Sleep,
Life Is For Us to Keep,
And If You're Wond'ring
I Want to Make It With You
I Really Think That We Can Make It Girl.
No, You Don't Know Me Well,
In Ev'ry Little Thing Only Time Will Tell,
If You Believe the Things That I Do.
And We'll See It Through.
Life Can Be Short Or Long,
Love Can Be Right Or Wrong,
And If I Choose the One
I'd Like to Help Me Through,
I'd Like to Make It With You
I Really Think That We Can Make It Girl.
Baby You Know That
Dreams They're For Those Who Sleep,
Life Is For Us to Keep
And If I Choose the One
I'd Like to Help Me Through,
I'd Like to Make It With You
I Really Think That We Can Make It Girl.
