Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru make up the alternative pop duo known as POWERS. The two have been pulling at each other across the country from New York to Los Angeles for years, discovering their unique creations when they came together. In 2014, their collaboration with The Knocks on the hit track, “Classic,” left many people hungry for more, yet also wondering exactly who they were due to their obscurity (and infancy) as a band.
POWERS subtly dropped several tracks on their Soundcloud not long before and after their Knocks collaboration, but finally released two proper songs through Spotify in May and June of 2015, “Loved By You” and “Beat Of My Drum.”

Powers: Loved By You
Powers: Legendary Lyrics:
I’m A fool running through your door
With my head and my heart at war
Heaven knows what I’m looking for
In spite of everything
We only spark when we START to end
A penny for every night I spent
Baptized by your mess again
But I only want one thing
I wanna be LOVED by you
I just wanna be loved by you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do you do all of the things you do?
When I just wanna be loved by you?
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
We’re getting off right before we crash
And threw the truth that we’re holding back
If one mistake could MAKE us last
In spite of everything
It’s not a fight ’til the FINAL blow
Can’t lose it all ’til it’s yours to hold
And what’s a high without the low?
When I only want one thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be loved by you
I just wanna be loved by you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do you do all of the things you do?
When I just wanna be loved by you?
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
I said I (I)
I just wanna be, wanna be, just wanna be loved by you (yeah, yeah, you)
Why do you do all of those things you do?
When I just wanna be loved by you?
