Rayen Pono Presents Single Being With You As The Closing Gift Of The Year

JAKARTA - Rayen Pono introduced the latest single entitled "Being with You". He presented this song as a closing gift for 2024 to Indonesian music lovers.

Being with You was written by Rayen himself, assisted by Irfan Chasmala as a music producer. Through this song, they want to present a ballad that spoils their ears and warms their hearts.

"Being with You tells the story of a great love that is transformed into many things, namely happiness, comfort, courage, and being willing to sacrifice in all kinds of relationships, be it romance, parents, relatives, friends, social, and others," Rayen said in his statement, Thursday, December 12.

"This song states that sincere love has the power to raise many things to be positive," he continued.

Meanwhile, the inspiration for songwriting comes from what Rayen experienced in his personal life, which is to still get the love of his loved ones at a bad time.

"Personally, there are still a lot of big dreams and achievements in music that I'm still chasing to get to my destination, and sometimes I'm less confident and ambitious," he said.

But people who love me can always see the other side of my quality as a human being who can give color to their lives too. Not just achievements and others. Even with all the shortcomings, I still feel balanced and complete. So it seems that the Being with You narration is enough to represent my life today.

Meanwhile, Irfan Chasmala's involvement was based on Rayen's desire to present the nuances of the 1980s to 1990s of music.

In my opinion, Irfan Chasmala is one of the musicians and producers who has a strong taste and really understands the nuances of music and composition from 80 to 90. I want the impression of nostalgia in this song to be strong, and proven, "said the 41-year-old singer.

Being with You indicates Rayen's return to release a song with English lyrics, which he last performed in 2017 through Be Myself Again.

"I wrote this song in English because even with simple lyrics English, I have a more romantic, deep and strong presentation," he said.
