[Official] Uru “If You Call That Love” — Theme song for the TBS Sunday Theater drama “My Family”

A song by singer-songwriter Uru that conveys deep affection and resolve, it was also chosen as the theme for the Sunday drama “My Family.” The gentle, piano-centered sound—like quietly facing one’s own heart—builds movingly into a grand chorus with added strings.

Said to have been created around the themes of “regeneration” and “restart,” the lyrics, which resonate with the drama itself, are memorable: they portray the truths realized through experiences of failure and the deep love that undeniably exists within one’s heart.

It’s a warm, reflective ballad that prompts you to think about what truly matters to you.
