Bingkai Karya – Emerging singer songwriter Olivia Pardede officially marks her debut with her first R&B single, “High,” a song inspired by her personal love story. Written by Olivia herself, the track captures the feeling of rediscovering love after a long time that magical “butterfly era” when someone new unexpectedly brings warmth and peace back into your life.
While the title “High” might sound sensual at first, Olivia gives it a deeper meaning. The song reflects the joy of finally finding a relationship she’s always dreamed of after a long journey through love. “It’s like the peak of a happiness feeling,” Olivia explains. One of the standout lyrics, “Even with an ocean in between, I never questioned you and I,” perfectly captures the emotional depth behind the song.
Despite its meaningful lyrics, “High” is wrapped in light, flirty melodies, echoing the vibrant 90s R&B sound Olivia adores. Through this track, she hopes to spread happiness in a music scene often dominated by heartbreak songs. “There are already so many sad songs,” she says. “I want people in love to have something to listen to every day, something that makes them feel even happier!”
With its nostalgic Pop R&B arrangement and smooth harmonies, “High” serves as a refreshing love anthem for anyone in their own butterfly era. “I hope this song brings joy and comfort to everyone, and that my presence in R&B can continue to give something positive to the Indonesian music scene,” Olivia concludes.
