[edit] Musical career

Since the age of 16, Sitti has been performing gigs at the Hyatt Calesa Bar and others. Although it was her dream to be a TV host, she is now one of the Philippines' newest singers. In 2004, MTV Philippines started "MTV Supahstar: D' Super Search", where Sitti was one of the winners. She also appeared in the group's music videos, showcasing her talents. It led to her recording contract.

Her debut album, Café Bossa, was released in 2006. Four songs have been released': "Tattooed On My Mind", a remake of the D'Sound hit; "Hey Look At The Sun", "I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love", and "Para Sa Akin".

Sitti collaborated with Club Myx to release Sitti in the Mix - The Dense Modesto Remixes, a collection of songs from Café Bossa that were made into dance-electronica songs with the help of DJ Dense Modesto, in mid-2007, before the release of her second album My Bossa Nova, which focuses on more recent songs. My Bossa Nova was re-released in mid 2008 with a VCD of Sitti Live! 2 called My Bossa Nova Live! and is now a certified Platinum album at the moment.

In the third quarter of 2008, Sitti released her first Christmas album, Ngayong Pasko. Unlike her past albums, this album is purely a cover versions album with only one original song, the carrier single and title of the album, Ngayong Pasko. This album also has reached the Gold status in less than a month after its release.

Sitti has also collaborated with Asia's Pop Idol and Romantic Balladeer, Christian Bautista for his album Captured for a duet of the song of the same title. They once again collaborated for Sitti's Christmas album for the song "Baby It's Cold Outside".

Hey Look At The Sun
Sitti Navarro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of my life
There were things I wanted to do
But they all changed
The moment I set my eyes on you
The magnetism that attracted me to you
There's something inside I just can't explain
And now I know
What I must do

Hey look at the sun
It's finally shining on my life
It's shining on my life
And it's all because of you
It's finally shining on my life
For me and for you

All of my life
I've wandered 'round time and again
But I never thought
That all my searching would
Come to an end
And then you came along
And my world of love began
So now i'm gonna
Change my ways
You're all I want
You're all I need

Hey look at the sun
It's finally shining on my life
It's shining on my life
And it's all because of you
It's finally shining on my life
For me and for you

Hey look at the sun
It's finally shining on my life

Hey look at the sun
It's finally shining on my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sitti Navarro's "Hey Look at the Sun" express a sense of newfound purpose and joy that the singer feels towards her love interest. The song describes how the singer's past aspirations and wanderings are now unimportant because she has found something deeper and more meaningful in the attraction she feels towards her partner. The opening line, "All of my life there were things I wanted to do, but they all changed the moment I set my eyes on you" shows how falling in love can radically shift one's priorities and make previous goals seem insignificant. The singer is drawn to her love interest through some kind of mysterious force or chemistry, as seen in the lyric "The magnetism that attracted me to you, there's something inside I just can't explain."

The chorus repeats the phrase "Hey look at the sun, it's finally shining on my life" three times, emphasizing the idea that the singer's life has been transformed since meeting her love interest. The sun is often a metaphor for new beginnings or positive change, so the lyrics suggest that the singer's life was previously dull or dark before her partner brought light and joy into it. The line "It's finally shining on my life, for me and for you" suggests that the singer's happiness is not only significant in her own life but also in her partner's, creating a shared sense of joy and purpose.
