If I Only KnewTom Jones

This song was used in a 2014 Jim Beam commercial featuring Rola.

You might not recognize it by this title, but its Japanese title is “Koi wa Mekimeki.” That title was chosen because the chorus line “make you, make you love” sounds like “meki-meki” in Japanese.

This is a track included on Creepy Nuts’ album “Case.” It was used as a commercial song for the energy drink ZONe.

From the title and the tense sound, you might initially think it’s sending a message like “I’m the greatest,” but from the opening lyrics, you realize it’s actually about someone who walks their own path, unaffected by anyone else.

It conveys the sense of contemplating a self that moves forward alone, untouched by others, and the growing uncertainty over whether that feeling is freedom or loneliness.
