Where I Belong

Where I Belong is an EP released in 2001 by Singaporean singer and songwriter, Tanya Chua. It was officially commissioned as the theme song to the 2001 National Day celebrations in Singapore. The song is easily recognized by many for its rock tune and smooth melody. In Singapore, the song became an immediate hit after its release, reaching number one status by mid-July 2001. It is the first and only EP to be released in NDP history. Twelve years later at NDP 2013, this song was sung by the combined schools choir, acknowledging the arrival of former prime ministers, Mr Lee Kuan Yew and ESM Goh Chok Tong. A rendition performed by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Singapore Symphony Youth Choir was released in August 2021 to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the song's release. Background Originally part of the Sing Singapore project, the song was written and composed by Tanya. It was later recorded in Atomic Studios in early 2001 and mixed in the same studio by Mo Lee.
