Regine Velasquez's "You Are My Song" is a song about an unrequited but hopeful love. The song speaks of a person who is deeply in love with someone they deem unreachable. Despite being distant, the person believes that they are meant to fall in love with each other. The lyrics express the desperation of the singer's love, and their hope that their affections will be returned. The lyrics use a musical metaphor to express the emotions of the singer; the person they love is the song that plays softly in their heart. The song is a tender ballad that captures the essence of a love that is both profound and fragile.
The song was composed by Martin Nievera, a Filipino singer, songwriter and producer, and performed by Regine Velasquez, a Filipina singer and actress known as the 'Asia's Songbird.' The song was an essential part of the soundtrack for the 2002 film, "Kailangan Kita," starring Velasquez herself. It has since become one of her most famous songs and considered a classic OPM (Original Pilipino Music).
