"Come Closer" by Rico Blanco: Close-Up Commercial Song!


Still remember that song from the latest Close-Up Commercial? The one with a girl blowing soap bubbles in a public market and then a guy approaches because he was somehow blinded with that soap bubbles that the girl blown? Apparently, I like the background song... and I am loving it!

I was actually shocked and amazed at the same time when I first heard that it was Rico Blanco, former Rivermaya band member and lead vocalist, who wrote and sang the song for the commercial because it sounded so foreign! Really! And that's a compliment! If you are not familiar with the commercial, below is preview of it and the preview of the said song with lyrics at the bottom.

Close Up Commercial: Come Closer (Full version)




It was reported that Rico Blanco was hired by Unilever Indonesia to compose the theme song for the Close Up Commercial. It turned out very good, I think the Close Up Commercial is now being shown all over Asia! And because of this, the song that Rico Blanco composed is now being heard all over Asia! Woohoo! I'm loving your song, man! Mabuhay ang Pinoy! Below is the lyrics of Come Closer by Rico Blanco.

Come Closer Lyrics
by Rico Blanco


Come closer
Come closer
Come closer to me now
Cant wait any longer
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me x2

I can feel you in the air
When its like youre everywhere
And the world can disappear
Just as long as you are near

Your smile is my whole world
Come closer to me now
Ive waited forever
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me x2

Now you got me in your spell
Its the best Ive ever felt
Feel you breathing in my soul
Cause I know youre heaven sent

Take all of my senses
Come closer to me now
Ive got no defenses
Come closer to me now

A hoo what you do to me x2


A-hooo... sorry I still can't get over it! I'm really loving it! Hehehe...

  1. me too bro! i thought it was a foreign band that composed and sang that song...only to find out on a local jologs radio station na si rico blanco pala kumanta. buti nakabalik na rin si rico sa music spotlight after his falling out with his band.

  4. @elmot: according to my research... the singer who sang the theme song in the commercial above is not rico blanco na... that is the international version of the commercial yata... yung philippine version nung commercial ay si rico blanco na ung kumanta!

  16. @anonymous: hi there! as I said before, it was rico blanco's version (the one that you are hearing in the mp3 above) is what being played on the radio today and is used by the Philippine version of the close up commercial... the song used in the commercial above is not a Philippine version... above the guy model... there are rumors that the guy is Jetrin Wattanasin, a thai singer-model... but if you search at him on google, he doesnt look like the guy in the commercial.. another rumor was that the guy's name is Glenwhel Amezcua, another model from what country, that I didnt know!
