I’ve always believed that the most powerful stories are born from the simplest questions—questions so small they almost go unnoticed, yet so profound they echo through the heart long after they’ve been asked.
“Why do you love me?”
That one question—soft, vulnerable, and disarming—sparked the entire creation of my new 6-track EP, Why Do You Love Me?, releasing over the Thanksgiving holiday on November 28.
And yes—
the quotation marks in the title are intentional.
I wanted the title itself to feel like the moment the question was asked. Quoted. Held. Echoing. A reminder that this entire project stems from that one, vulnerable line spoken from one lover to another.
How the Poem Sparked the Music
The poem centers on a woman asking her partner to explain his love for her. She wants clarity, reassurance, truth—something she can hold onto. But the man’s answer can’t be summed up in a single phrase. Instead, he responds with more questions, all of which circle back to the same truth:
Because that’s the way it is.
Because that’s just how it goes.
That idea became the heartbeat of this EP.
A Dual-World Project: Celtic Heart Meets EDM Pulse
This collection exists in two musical worlds.
Track 01 is a love ballad with Celtic roots, carrying the emotional weight and poetic cadence of the original poem. It’s earthy, raw, intimate—anchored in acoustic warmth and timeless storytelling.
The remaining five tracks reimagine the emotion of the poem through an entirely different lens:
EDM and an instrumental version.
I wanted to explore how the same question—why do you love me?—can feel in moments of energy, intensity, motion, and emotional crescendo. Each remix reflects a different emotional facet but carries the same lyrical soul.
The Tracks
01. “Why Do You Love Me?”
The original ballad. Celtic-influenced, tender, mysterious. It holds the poem’s heart exactly as it was written—full of longing and quiet revelation.
02. “Why Do You Love Me?” (Oracle)
This version feels fated. Ethereal synths, pulsing beats, and a sense of destiny woven through every rise and drop.
03. “Why Do You Love Me?” (Wonder)
Airy and expansive. It’s the feeling of staring at the sky, overwhelmed by the marvel of loving and being loved.
04. “Why Do You Love Me?” (Curiosity)
Exploratory and searching. Built around movement—forward momentum, shifting melodies, and a restless, questioning heart.
05. “Why Do You Love Me?” (EDM Mix)
A bold, electrified reimagining of the original—intensifying the emotional tension and releasing it through pulsating rhythms and soaring synths.
06. “Why Do You Love Me?” (Instrumental)
A stripped-down, atmospheric arrangement featuring piano, flute, harp, and cello, spotlighting the melody’s emotional core and letting every rise and fall speak without words.
The Poem Behind the Music
Lines like:
Ask why the sun rises and the earth spins on its axis.
Why does the day turn dark when the night relaxes?
and
Why do I see you as more than a friend?
I’ll shed my blood for you, just say when.
became the DNA of the entire EP. The poem explores the vast, unexplainable nature of love—how it bends time, shifts the skies, and pulls at the heart without reason.
It ends with the simple truth that shaped every version of the song:
Why do I get butterflies whenever you’re close?
So why do I love you? ’Cuz that’s just how it goes.
What This EP Means to Me
This project is both intimate and expansive. It begins in a quiet Celtic whisper and then explodes into the electronic world—because love itself contains both. Stillness and storm. Thought and instinct. Heart and pulse.
“Why Do You Love Me?” is for everyone who has ever asked the question, feared the answer, or lived inside the mystery of it.
I can’t wait to share these five interpretations with you on November 28.
