San Francisco artist Michellar takes a beautiful step in her music career with her first Spanish-language single, “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche” (which means “If It’s Only for One Night”). The song features stunning vocals by Jiji Picazo, and together, they create something truly heartfelt, a song about a love that’s short, but unforgettable.
This track feels like a gentle love letter to a moment that might be gone but still lives inside you. It’s about that one night when someone made you feel completely seen, loved, and special. Michellar drew inspiration from the people she had met who shared their experiences of short but powerful relationship, the kind happens suddenly yet leaves a lasting mark.
Michellar initially wrote the lyric in English but because of her Spanish and Filipino roots, she felt strongly about translating it into Spanish. That’s where Jiji Picazo came in. As the vocalist and co-translator, Jiji helped shape the Spanish lyrics in a way that kept the deep emotion of the original, but made it flow naturally in another language. Together, they created something impeccable, a song that speaks from the heart and sounds just as beautiful in Spanish.
Listening to “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche” is like stepping into a memory. The music begins slowly with gentle guitar and soft singing. The music builds just enough to carry the feelings forward without overpowering the story.
Aunque Sea Por Una Noche was recorded at Women’s audio mission studio in San Francisco, a space known for supporting female artists and music producers. It was produced by Llyod Miller of spirit song studios in Austin, Texas. The production process of this song was personal as Michellar worked with Jiji rewriting and adjusting the lyric which helped her reconnect with her Spanish heritage.
For Michellar, this song is not just a new single, it marks a chapter in her journey as an artist. It’s her first time writing and releasing a song entirely in Spanish and it likely won’t be the last. She’s also hoping to write songs in Filipino soon as her culture has strong ties to Spanish traditions and music. She describes her journey through these words “Home is where the heart is. My heart leads me to songs with the home I intuitively feel very close to me.” This quote perfectly sums up the feeling of the song and even if it only lasts a moment, it still feels like home.
Aunque Sea Por Una Noche is a beautiful and emotional piece of work that communicates to the heart. The soft guitar, heartfelt vocals and the lyrics all captures the feeling of being in love reminding us that some moments, no matter how short can leave a mark on us forever.

It doesn’t matter if you’re spanish or not, the emotion in the track is a universal one.
