Chika Maryana added, the song "Only You" by Sidney Mohede and Andi Rianto successfully reached the top position of the iTunes chart released on Sunday (7/2) evening, for a week. Surprisingly, this song surpassed the song Love So Fine, which is the original soundtrack of the Korean drama True Beauty, sung by Cha Eun Woo, a member of the boy group ASTRO.

Meanwhile, Sidney tells the story behind the making of this song. He has read and heard about how Covid-19 has made life increasingly difficult for people in various places. One of them, he said, is the increase in the number of divorces in the world, the disharmony in relationships between two individuals, both dating and married.

"There are many news or articles that write about broken relationships and marriages in this difficult season. This is where I am challenged to find a way for us to stay together through love, and that's how this song was born," said the man born in Jakarta, March 27, 1973.

2. Produce More Than 40 Albums

So far, Sidney has produced more than 40 albums. Generally, Sidney's songs are widely sung among the Christian community throughout Indonesia, and even abroad. One of the songs he created became part of an album called "Love God Love People" by Israel Houghton, which won the Grammy Awards in 2011.

Especially for the song "Only You," Sidney wants to convey a positive spirit that can be captured by the listeners. "I want to remember that love is not just a feeling and emotion, but a decision, commitment, and choice," he said.

Separately, Andi Rianto feels very proud to be involved in the production of this song "Only You." According to him, this song is a musician's contribution to strengthen each other in facing the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. "Of course, I am happy to be involved in this work. In times like this, we need love that can unite to overcome this difficult period," said the founder of Magenta Orchestra.
