'Friends Only' Become Giant Jay's First Single After Receiving An AMI Award Nomination

JAKARTA - Giant Jay, who received his first nomination at the 2024 AMI Awards through the Best Newcomer category, introduced his latest single entitled 'Friends Only'.

This song is a continuation of the single 'Raksa', a song that conveys a strong message about the importance of friendship and courage to fight bullying behavior, as well as bringing Giant Jay to his first nomination for AMI.

If 'Racta' explores the emotional side of a complex friendship, through 'Friends Only', Jay wants to tell an unsophisticated love story, where he gets caught up in feelings for a good friend who turns out to only think of him as a friend.

This song is a reflection of the journey we all experience, which is loving someone who doesn't see us more than just friends. This is a universal experience that many people can connect to," Giant Jay said in a press release to VOI, Sunday, November 3.

'Friends Only' is the result of collaboration between Giant Jay and Vadly Emily as songwriters. This collaboration is felt to be able to bring new nuances, combining the writing skills and musical production of two musicians who are committed to creating works that speak to the hearts of the listeners.

"I hope, with this song, listeners can feel the depth of emotions and the journey of hopeful love, although it often leads to a painful meaning," said Giant Jay.

With deep lyrics and catchy melody, this new single is expected to be able to continue Giant Jay's mission to raise relevant and touching themes.

With 'Racta' and 'Friends Only', Giant Jay not only showed his courage to talk about heavy issues, but also highlighted the beauty in feelings of love and complicated friendship.

Meanwhile, Giant Jay's latest single entitled 'Friends Only' can be heard on various digital music platforms in Indonesia.
