Love letters through songs: HORI7ON’s special songs dedicated to the special people in their lives
From being a group of young dreamers, HORI7ON has openly expressed their love and gratitude for the people who have become their anchors towards their challenging life as a global pop group.
Before their much-awaited comeback in a few days, let’s highlight two of their very special Tagalog songs dedicated to the people they love.
SALAMAT
‘Salamat’ is an original song that was first performed on the survival-reality show ‘Dream Maker’ where HORI7ON was formed. Jeromy, Marcus, Kyler, Vinci, Reyster, Kim, and Winston performed this with fellow Top 16 Dream Chasers on the show’s finale.
It was released as one of HORI7ON’s pre-debut digital singles and was later included in the official debut album ‘Friend-SHIP‘.
The song became more powerful and meaningful as HORI7ON embarked on their journey as a global pop group. It expresses the utmost gratitude of the members to their supporters who were instrumental in their formation and success.
As an Anchor myself, ‘Salamat’ is a song that is always overwhelming to listen to, especially when it is performed live by the members. It has these heartfelt emotions that convey a special connection between HORI7ON and the fans who were with them throughout their journey.
MAMA
As directly implied by the title, ‘Mama‘ is a song for the special women in the members’ lives, their mothers.
The members revealed that the song was created with the help of the personal letters they wrote themselves for their mothers. It is a song dedicated to their parents and families, expressing gratitude for having them and still being there for them despite being far away. The members had no idea that the letters would be turned into a song, proving the genuine feelings reflected in the lyrics.
With these songs as love letters for the special people in their lives, HORI7ON shows a side of them that is relatable and grateful, appreciating the people who continuously help them gain strength and inspiration.
For their upcoming comeback, HORI7ON is set to release a new song entitled ‘LUCKY‘ which is described as a confession song that radiantly expresses their feelings for their loved ones.
As HORI7ON continues to express their love in various ways, let’s look forward to the exciting comeback and activities they have prepared for everyone!
