[O2JAM] Faye Wong - Eyes on Me

"Eyes on Me" by Faye Wong is an iconic ballad that served as the theme song for Final Fantasy VIII. Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, with English lyrics by Kako Someya, this was the first vocal theme in a Final Fantasy game, marking a significant moment in video game music history. Faye Wong's delicate and emotional delivery beautifully complements the romantic storyline between the game’s main characters, Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly. The song plays during pivotal moments in the game and is often remembered for capturing the mood of Final Fantasy VIII's storyline, which centers on themes of love, destiny, and personal growth. "Eyes on Me" went on to become highly popular, winning the 1999 Japan Gold Disc Award for Song of the Year, and it remains one of the most beloved video game songs of all time. #o2jam #finalfantasyviii #ffviiiremastered #fayewong #eyesonme
