Producer Glenn Gutierrez (known for his works with Jocelyn Enriquez, Jaya, Stevie B.) witnessed that potential for himself. With the desire to work together and after months of heavy negotiating, Sharyn was picked up by Glenn's record label, Planet Hype, (home to R&B group, "Pinay" and Latin Dance Diva, "M:G") which was built with partners JP Nebres and Matt Villacarte. Sharyn's debut album would soon become Glenn's first project under the Planet Hype flagship.
The album which was titled, "Always Dreamin", evolved into a lush collection of Dance, Pop, and R&B music. Sharyn decided to name it that because 'Always Dreamin' was the one song on the CD that said everything about how she felt at the time. "Although my passion to make my dreams come true grew stronger as time went by, I seriously had a one track mind ever since I was a little girl. Everything revolved around music... making music, enjoying music... trying to get in the music biz." She adds, "In essence, "Always Dreamin" is the perfect caption for who I am at heart."
It is that heart and that voice that quickly launched her latest single, "When The Record Spins". Jazzy Jim, SF's legendary DJ, played the funktified dance track directly off the album and broke Sharyn's record before it was officially released. Afterwards, the single continued to get airplay during Jazzy's 5 O'clock Traffic Jam (hosted by St. John) and Jose Melendez' "WiLD Workout At Noon". Steadily, another Sharyn Maceren single would make its way to stations across the country.
Soon, "Always Dreamin" was sold out in stores. With all lyrics and melodies composed by the songstress herself, it was amazing to see her album ranking in the Top 1% at major retailers, including Amazon.com. Demonstrating that her music can stand side by side amongst all major label releases, Sharyn proved what JV of the notorious "Doghouse" had thought all along. During their highly listened to morning show, JV predicted On-air, "There will be nothing left on the shelves... I guarantee it!"
Aside from her immense musical talent, which also includes producing and playing the piano, Sharyn is probably known just as much for her down to earth nature. Performing and making appearances just about every single weekend, Sharyn always takes time to meet with her listeners. Sharyn reveals, "I have the coolest fans! They are so sweet... and I love it when they analyze my music. I always get surprised because I can't imagine so many people paying attention to what I'm saying."
But with lyrics on songs like "A Little More Time" , "New" [As if we've never touched before/Like I'm a stranger at your door/Pretend you're wanting to explore"] and "In Just One Night" [Ain't it funny how life is/ I used to be the one/ Always worried 'bout if he/ Was creepin' with someone/ Then it ends up that I am/ The one I always feared] --- how can one not pay attention? In every track, Sharyn grabs you with clever and innovative storytelling.
Musically, Sharyn more often than not brings fun, energetic and melodic tracks to the plate. On songs like "A Love Divine" and "Ain't No Love", however, Sharyn slows it down a bit and reveals her passion for R&B music. On the candid "Sharyn Uncovered" track, Sharyn displays a day in the life of recording as she prepared to capture Keyboard-and-Vocal-Only segments of several tracks on the CD. Not knowing her chitchat was going to make it in, this session developed a series of bloops and blunders as well as numerous "Behind the Scenes" conversations with Glenn. While Sharyn could've easily cut the mishaps out of the picture, Sharyn decided to keep them on the album because she noticed that it not only offered an even more personal touch to the record but it also revealed another side to this sweetsexyreal Bay Area artist. It ended up revealing her goofy side!
When Sharyn's not busy sharing the stage with artists like Frankie J., Natalise, and One Vo1ce, she continually remains busy working on production for her 2nd album and writing music for other artists.
Because, as Sharyn always says, "It's all about the music..."

In Just One Night
Sharyn Maceren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't it funny how life is
I used to be the one
Always worryin' bout if he
Was creepin' with someone
Then it ends up that I am
The one I always feared
Verse ii
Did not know what to do
So I kept on pretendin'
Sayin' "There's no one else but you"
Still, he saw it in my eyes
I hadn't told the truth
Chorus
In Just One Night
I lost everything I owned
'Cause In Just One Night
I pretended I was alone
Now, I don't need to pretend anymore
You won't see him coming
Around my door
In Just One Night
He realized
I'm not the one to love
Verse iii
Finally the truth poured out
Like the teardrops from my eyes
He just couldn't believe
That I could live with all those lies
But I guess I was blinded
I didn't realize
Verse iv
I thought it could be easy
That we could work things out
But it's obvious that I didn't
Have a clue what love was about
Had to learn it the hard way
The day he let me go
Sharyn Maceren's song "In Just One Night" depicts the realization that love is not always straightforward and easy. The song talks about how life takes an unexpected turn and how the singer suddenly finds herself in a situation where she loses everything she had. In the first verse, she talks about how life can be funny and how she used to worry about her partner possibly cheating on her. However, she finds herself in a situation where she is the one who has lost her partner. In the second verse, she talks about how she was still pretending to be with him, even though he knew it wasn't true. She lost everything in just one night when he realized the facade that she had put up all along.
The chorus of the song is about how everything changed for the singer in just one night. She was pretending to be alone with no one to love, but now she doesn't need to pretend anymore. The person she used to love won't be coming around her door again, and in just one night, he realized that she was not the one to love. The final verse talks about how the truth eventually came out in the form of teardrops from her eyes, and her partner couldn't believe that she had been living with lies. She thought that everything could be easy and that they could work things out, but in reality, she didn't know anything about love, and she had to learn it the hard way when he decided to let her go.

Ain't it funny how life is
Life is unpredictable and has a sense of humor
I used to be the one
I was the person who was always worried
Always worryin' bout if he
Being concerned if my partner was cheating on me
Was creepin' with someone
Being unfaithful with another person
Then it ends up that I am
I ended up being the one cheating
The one I always feared
The person I always worried about being
Didn't know what to tell him
I did not know what to say to my partner
Did not know what to do
I did not know what actions to take
So I kept on pretendin'
I continued to pretend that everything was okay
Sayin' "There's no one else but you"
Denying any infidelity
Still, he saw it in my eyes
My partner saw the truth in my eyes
I hadn't told the truth
I had not been honest with my partner
In Just One Night
In a single night
I lost everything I owned
I lost everything that was important to me
'Cause In Just One Night
Because of what happened in a single night
I pretended I was alone
I pretended to be single
Now, I don't need to pretend anymore
I do not need to lie about my relationship status anymore
You won't see him coming
My ex-partner will not come around anymore
Around my door
At my doorstep, wanting to reconcile
He realized
My ex-partner came to understand
I'm not the one to love
I am not someone worthy of love
Finally the truth poured out
I finally told the truth
Like the teardrops from my eyes
Just like how tears fall from my eyes
He just couldn't believe
My ex-partner was in disbelief
That I could live with all those lies
That I could live with lying to him for so long
But I guess I was blinded
I was unable to see clearly
I didn't realize
I was not aware
I thought it could be easy
I believed it would be simple
That we could work things out
That we could repair our relationship
But it's obvious that I didn't
It is clear that I was mistaken
Have a clue what love was about
I did not understand what being in love entailed
Had to learn it the hard way
I had to learn through a difficult experience
The day he let me go
When my ex-partner ended our relationship

In Just One Night
Em apenas uma noite
Não é engraçado como a vida é
I used to be the one
Eu costumava ser aquela
Always worryin' bout if he
Que sempre se preocupava se ele
Was creepin' with someone
Estava aprontando com alguém
Then it ends up that I am
E aí eu acabo sendo
The one I always feared
Aquele que eu sempre temi
(Verse II)
(Verso 2)
Didn't know what to tell him
Eu não sabia o que lhe dizer
Did not know what to do
Não sabia o que fazer
So I kept on pretendin'
Então eu continuei fingindo
Sayin' There's no one else but you
Dizendo que não havia ninguém além dele
Still, he saw it in my eyes
Ainda assim, ele viu nos meus olhos
I hadn't told the truth
Que eu não tinha falado a verdade
(Chorus)
(Refrão)
In Just One Night
Em apenas uma noite
I lost everything I owned
Eu perdi tudo que possuia
'Cause In Just One Night
Porque em apenas uma noite
I pretended I was alone
Eu fingi estar sozinha
Now, I don't need to pretend anymore
Agora não preciso mais fingir
You won't see him coming
Você não o verá vindo
Around my door
Perto da minha porta
In Just One Night
Em apenas uma noite
He realized
Ele percebeu
I'm not the one to love
Eu não fui feita para amar
