Meanwhile, the song’s interpreter, power belter Apple Delleva, explained that working with a creative talent like Gio Levy has been a great experience that inspired her to render full devotion in singing praise songs.

“If You Believe” is a heartfelt ballad of faith. The lyrics are nothing short of biblical poignancy laid on an unforgettable melody. The song starts out with calm and subtle verses then to a solid lyrical hook of the chorus. According to the composer, the song, dedicated to his parents, was penned many years ago during the most difficult time of their lives; Levy draws inspiration from his personal experience.

As one of the grand finalists, Levy acknowledges the crucial role played by ASOP in nurturing the musical passion of both amateur and professional songwriters as well as the interpreters.
