JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun's latest collaboration, 'Stay With You', hopes to 'kindle a sense of togetherness' at NDP 2020

Homegrown Mandopop superstars JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun will be releasing an English version of 'Stay With You' this weekend, in conjunction with Singapore's 55th National Day.

Co-written by the pair, 'Stay With You' was initially released in January in Mandarin, as a hearfelt anthem that resonates with frontline workers in light of the pandemic that struck the world ever since. 'Stay With You' sets a rather retrospective mood with the beautiful harmonisation of the cello, together with the classical piano and guitar chords in the background.

This year's National Day Parade, JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun will be performing 'Stay With You' as part of the evening musical acts on 9 August, which will run from 7PM. As Lin is currently based in Taiwan, he will be performing remotely with Sun, who is based in Singapore. This performance will be the first time both artists are performing in a duet, although they both have performed in SG50's NDP individually.

"2020 has been a difficult year for us all. I hope that this special rendition of 'Stay With You' can kindle a sense of togetherness no matter where we are," said JJ Lin in his Instagram post.
