'Phil So Good' - Julien Drolon feat. Rhian Ramos (with lyrics)



The 'Phil So Good' music video starting to become viral over the web. The music video starring a Frenchman singing about his love for our country, The Philippines, catches the attention of netizens over the web. 

The music video was shot on location across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It shows Drolon basking in the sun on various beaches in the country and extolling, in French and English, this "paradise on earth". Also seen in the music video is our very own Filipina Actress Rhian Ramos who did the rapping part of the song.

While the music is an upbeat mix of funk, reggae and dance pop, and lends a cosmopolitan touch to the tropical scenarios. It is composed by French writer-turned-musician Julien Drolon


According to his interview with Philippine Daily InquirerDrolon described the Philippines as the land of music in Asia. He also added that in France they don't live music the way Filipinos do.

Drolon has so far recorded six songs with an all-Filipino lineup of musicians that also serve as his regular band, including keyboardist Leal Nanca, who wrote the rap lyrics to "Phil So Good." Drolon has also worked with Noel Mendez, Jack Rufo, Rico Blanco and the band Brownman Revival.

'PHIL SO GOOD' English/Tagalog Lyrics

Paradise islands, white sand beach
Tropical jungles where tribes still live
Land of Rizal and the guitar strings
Gotta find some time to live it here

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good


People speak tagalog, sometimes taglish
They love to have fun, they know how to live
With a warm welcome, they will make you feel
Like it is your turn to smile and sing

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good

comma down selectah…
seat back relax uminum ng beer
itaas ang bote isigaw ang cheers
lay back, while listenin smooth jazz and
feel the cold breeze and keep the wheels blazin
cause all we need is a time to relax
ihanda na ang serbeza lets drink some wapak
sige sige dont stop, non stop ang saya
pag-katapos ng lahat libutin luzviminda
tawagan mo na si jo and i will text julien
hatakin na si joven all over again
cause the best thing in life is life and that’s true
huwag hayaan ang saya lagpasan ka nito
take a zip just a trip and take a deep breath
libutin tiaong gubat all by your self
fiyah grill, cold beer, lay back and chill
watch the daet sunsets thats the thrill
sounds cool huh

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good
Boracay in summer, I went there twice
Wanna feel colder, go to the rice terraces
Palawan is where I took my love
She wanted a romance under the sun
Surf is the best in Siargao
You can also dance up to Malasimbo
And when I need a break from Manila
I got a secret place that I won’t say to ya

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good
