Filipinos are especially excited about her song choice because of its heartfelt lyrics. They explained that “Pasilyo” talks about wanting to spend your entire life with the person you love, which they see as IU’s way of expressing her deep connection to fans.
Since it got spoiled already, IU will sing a Filipino love song โPASILYOโ. The song is about choosing & wanting to spend the rest of your life with the person you love ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญhttps://t.co/73v4otq4G9

for intl uaenas, imagine the person you love waiting for you at the altar to marry you. thatโs the easiest way to explain the meaning of โpasilyoโ ๐ญ the words used were deep & definitely a kind of song IU would write & love ๐ญ

"Pasilyo" speaks of the singer's desire to stand next to the person she loves forever and for the two to be together for the rest of their lives. The chorus, which is a repetition of words "Ikaw at ikaw" emphasizes that it can only be that person, thus what it translates to "YOU" https://t.co/WMcOEUWHBn
