In addition, she has released rare tracks, recorded in Mandarin, which can be found on limited edition albums.

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.

Meditation
Olivia Ong Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by muself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you're far away

I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do

I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

In my loneliness
I feel lonely when you are not with me

When you're gone and I'm all by myself
I am left alone when you are not around

And I need your caress
I long for your touch

I just think of you
I focus my thoughts on you

And the thought of you holding me near
The idea of you embracing me closely

Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Relieves me of my loneliness in no time

Though you're far away
You are distant from me

I have only to close my eyes
I just need to shut my eyes

And you are back to stay
And you are here with me once again

And the sadness that missing you brings
The sorrow that comes from missing you

Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Quickly fades away and my heart sings with joy
