Theme Song in The Game
The lyrics, written in somewhat imperfect English, unveil the hopes of a night club singer for romance with a member of her audience:
- I kind of liked it your way
- How you shyly placed your eyes on me;
- Oh, did you ever know
- That I had mine on you?
Within Final Fantasy VIII, the song is written by Julia Heartilly, a pianist who is a love interest of Laguna Loire. It is heard repeatedly throughout the game in various incarnations as an instrumental piece, including a version entitled Julia. Its full version is heard during a moment between Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly—the main protagonists—on board the Ragnarok. It is played once more during the game's ending.
The song was popular among gamers in the West, and brought Faye Wong to the attention of many who were not previously familiar with her music.
