Singer David Choi x Wong Fu Productions teamed up for their third music video together, By My Side. (Previously, David Choi and Wong Fu Productions collaborated on Won’t Even Start and That Girl.) The latest David Choi song to get the Wong Fu Productions treatment is the title track of David Choi’s album “By My Side.” In the music video, David Choi tries to reach the love of his life Jennifer Ong. Wong Fu Productions hits another homerun with the “boy meet girl” storyline. Here’s more about the concept of the music video:
“I just want you by my side.” David’s song is about a desire to be with someone. And to find that person among all the people we encounter in our lifetime, is pretty magical already. But how do we show that in a video? Wong Fu has done a good number of “boy meets girl” stories, but this time we wanted to convey something in a more abstract manner. In the beginning of the video, we catch David in the middle of a process. The balloons he makes can be seen as the things he does to show his feelings to the girl. She sits higher than him, initially unattainable. Whether it’s to pursue or maintain a relationship, people always need to make different efforts and sacrifices. We’ve all made “balloons” for someone. Eventually he wins her over and she let’s him up to her world by giving him the key. The ending should not be perceived as him rescuing her. She does not need rescuing. Rather, there is no ending. What happens is simply natural– they exit from a place they know and into an unknown future. However frightening this sounds, the fact that they are together makes it worth it. Hopeful. Happy. Side by side.

Lyrics to By My Side music video by David Choi
I’m just listening to the clock go ticking,
I am waiting as the time goes by.
I think of you with every breath I take,
I need to feel your heartbeat next to mine.
You’re all I see, in everything.
I just wanna hold you,
I just wanna kiss you,
I just wanna love you all my life.
I normally wouldn’t say this,
but I just can’t contain it.
I want you here forever,
right here by my side.
All the fears you feel inside,
and all the tears you cry,
they’re ending right here.
I’ll heal your heart and soul;
I’ll keep you oh so close.
Don’t worry; I’ll never let you go.
You’re all I need, you’re everything.
I just wanna hold you,
I just wanna kiss you,
I just wanna love you all my life.
I normally wouldn’t say this,
but I just can’t contain it.
I want you here forever,
right here by my side.
No one else will ever do.
I got a stubborn heart for you.
Call me crazy, but its true; I love you.
I didn’t think that it would be,
you have made it clear to me.
You’re all I need.
I just wanna hold you,
I just wanna kiss you,
I just wanna love you all my life.
I normally wouldn’t say this,
but I just can’t contain it.
I want you here forever,
right here by my side.
