NUS Resonance performed the NUS Student Life theme song, NUS Forever at the NUS Achievement Awards on 28 Oct 2023. Each year, the Office of Student Affairs invites a different group of NUS performers to close the awards ceremony with their rendition of NUS Forever. We are delighted to have NUS Resonance do the honours this year.
NUS Forever was originally written for the 2005 NUS Centennial Celebration by A/P Ho Chee Kong, Master of Tembusu College, and Head of Composition at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, and Prof Robbie Goh, former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
Though written nearly 20 years ago, NUS Forever remains relevant to this day. The song encourages young students to enjoy student life, respond to ideas and aspirations outside of academia, and is an important reminder of the role of NUS as an important institution in Singapore’s young history.

Lyrics:
Through our friendships forged
From our treasure store
Of bright golden days of old.
The minds that spurred us to greater heights
And the hearts that made us bold.
The distant shores before us rise
The world awaits our enterprise.
For we're sons and daughters all
Set forth from Alma Mater's Halls.
Yo, listen up here’s the thing
I got into Resonance just so I can sing.
But that’s just one thing in my NUS life
that makes me feel so warm and alive.
Looking at my friends who fill my days
Gets me so excited to be in this place.
Not just class but open future doors
Time flies by and (what) I’m Year 4?!
From the greens to the grooves to the love for this school
Everytime I’m here it’s something new.
Before I leave throw my hat at the graduate ball
There’s just so much to explore!
In the years to come
We will draw new strength
From past golden days recalled.
And set our faces toward the light
Of the challenges in store.
Our dauntless hearts will we unite
To seek the good with all our might.
Bringing honour to the fore
To NUS forever more.
To NUS forever more!
