AFRI-TUNES WEEK #50/ PEOPLE (CHECK ON ME) BY LIBIANCA/ COVERED BY SLEEMFIT✨. [ENG-ESP]

Hello Afri-tunes family, it's week 50 of our weekly contest and for me it's always a privilege to share music with you guys here. The support and love is always massive, that I don't take for granted. For this week I'd be performing the secular song as suggested in the community for week #50 which is People (Check On Me) by Cameroonian-American singer Libianca.

The song talks about depression and how people think you're doing just fine, just because you wear a smile on your face, dress well and look good...but that doesn't mean you're really doing good. People don't see beyond the smile, all they see is the outward appearance, they don't know what you're going through and just assume you're doing just fine without actually asking if you're alright. This song is really relatable in our daily lives, everyone is going through stuff they don't talk about but then, we all have like an escape to get our minds off things. For Libianca it's alcohol, she's been drinking alcohol for the past five days and nobody even cared to check on her or look for her. Even doing things she doesn't do normally but nobody notices because they believe she can't do such instead of paying attention to the little details.

People don't really know you but they think they do. All they see is what they believe is going on in your life. No one notices your absence or even bothers to check on you...and for some reasons those are the people we call friends. But really it's not about the quantity but the quality of people in our lives that matter. Those who really care would check on you and notice you but in the absence of that, keep going, keep trying. Don't let what you're going through get you in into depression, protect your mental health because at the end of the day You're all you've got. People don't really know you, they just believe that when you put a smile on your face, look good...then you have no problems.

I do hope you enjoy 🎧 my cover of this beautiful song, let me know what you think of my cover in the comment section..Blessings always 🙏

Hola familia Afri-tunes, es la semana 50 de nuestro concurso semanal y para mí siempre es un privilegio compartir música con ustedes aquí. El apoyo y el amor siempre es masivo, eso no lo doy por sentado. Para esta semana, interpretaría la canción secular sugerida en la comunidad para la semana 50, que es People (Check On Me) de la cantante camerunés-estadounidense Libianca.

La canción habla sobre la depresión y cómo la gente piensa que lo estás haciendo bien, solo porque tienes una sonrisa en la cara, te vistes bien y te ves bien... pero eso no significa que realmente lo estés haciendo bien. La gente no ve más allá de la sonrisa, todo lo que ven es la apariencia externa, no saben por lo que estás pasando y simplemente asumen que estás bien sin preguntarte si estás bien. Esta canción es realmente identificable en nuestra vida diaria, todos están pasando por cosas de las que no hablan, pero luego, todos tenemos un escape para distraernos. Para Libianca es el alcohol, ha estado bebiendo alcohol durante los últimos cinco días y nadie se preocupó de verla o buscarla. Incluso haciendo cosas que normalmente no hace pero nadie se da cuenta porque creen que no puede hacerlas en lugar de prestar atención a los pequeños detalles.

La gente no te conoce realmente, pero creen que sí. Todo lo que ven es lo que creen que está pasando en tu vida. Nadie nota tu ausencia o incluso se molesta en ver cómo estás... y por alguna razón esas son las personas a las que llamamos amigos. Pero en realidad no se trata de la cantidad sino de la calidad de las personas en nuestras vidas lo que importa. Aquellos que realmente se preocupan por ti y te notan, pero en ausencia de eso, sigue adelante, sigue intentándolo. No dejes que lo que estás pasando te deprima, protege tu salud mental porque al final del día eres todo lo que tienes. La gente realmente no te conoce, solo creen que cuando pones una sonrisa en tu rostro, te ves bien... entonces no tienes problemas.

Espero que disfrutes 🎧 mi versión de esta hermosa canción, déjame saber lo que piensas de mi versión en la sección de comentarios... Bendiciones siempre 🙏
