Dabi Song - "Cross My Heart Reimagined" | FabvL [My Hero Academia] 

It was such a strong emotional process helping produce the instrumental for such a beautiful song. Gives Cross My Heart a whole new lens to look through and I’m honored to be a part of it ❤

This hits so hard. It puts the whole narrative into a completely new light and I love it so much.

Literally one of your greatest pieces of work bro

god, the first rendition of this song was like Dabi was venting his anger, showing the world his never ending rage, but this one you can feel the pain that Dabi has been put though. Simply beautiful.

I am really emotional hearing this reimagined version ... I mean so much emotions are connected with "cross my heart" For both fabvl and his fans....Thanks @Fabvl and @Divide Music

Its really hard NOT to feel sorry for Dabi.. Everything about this song makes you wanna cry! This hits like his Flames 😭

MMMMMMMMMMM THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOOOOUUUUUT THIS SOUND IS JUST---- SO UP MY ALLEY. It's such an emotional tug and then kicks you in the gut. You did such a fantastic job goodness.

You can hear the raw emotion in this song. The original is fantastic, this is a masterpiece.

This is absolutely wonderful, the vibe that it gives off is completely different from the original, never had so much chills listening to a song

People: you good man ? Fabvl: * rapping like he has something to prove *

I enjoy how these two versions of the aong kind of adapted to Dabi's personality throughout the arc When we meet him he seems cold, relatively apathetic, impulsive but contained. The original _cross my heart_ fits that impersonal but dangerous energy. He has a past and it clearly is part of who he is. He answers to no one, and who he is is none of your business if you're not fuelling his flames. As the story progresses Dabi becomes far more tragic, far more chaotic. You find out not only what his past is but why it fucked him up so badly. He becomes more hectic, out of control. Desperate and unhinged. He's in pain. And everyone's going to know it. Even if he has to burn the world to the ground. This version captures that progression really well. More emotional, raw. An edge to it that says "it's been personal all along." I found a couple of the vocal transitions a little bit abrupt/incongruant but otherwise i cant really find much to dislike here. Two awesome songs for a great character, thank you for sharing this with us And the video is absolute fire as well, kudos to Jeup who rarely seems to miss

Wow. I'm honestly stunned by the powerful words in here, and the relatability of the emotion in the lyrics and instruments. I've been struggling lately, both with the animosity between me and my parents, and the fear of losing my job due to unfair circumstances, and it's been causing me severe anxiety and pain. I truly could not have asked for a better time for this version of the song to release. I know it's but a humble donation, but I could not be more thankful for the comfort this song as provided me. Thank you, truly Fabvl, for this inspiring and compelling song.

It's incredible how just changing the tone can completely change how the song feels, and still hit just as hard

The original was already so amazing, and it's metal/rock style made it an instant favourite and 'on repeat'. It always hypes me up, even to this day. Now, it's been remade into a softer, more emotional song that somehow is still amazing in that it really reaches deep to put forth the emotions in Dabi/Fabvl's word (that manga readers love). You've taken one amazing song and turned it into two absolute bangers, hats off to everyone, keep being amazing, Fabvl. We fans will keep bopping.

I must say, thanks FabvL, thanks for all the songs you've made. But this one, I don't know how but, this is a whole masterpiece, a piece of art. I've been struggling with so many feelings recently and this song is helping me to find peace about it. Thanks to you, I'm propably healing now. It's hard but since I heard this song yesterday, I really feel like I'm growing up 🌟

I'm not crying. You're crying. But seriously, this was just....absolutely beautiful. Everyone involved in this did an amazing job

This is like a tribute to Dabi... I swear I got shivers from just the start of the instrumental....🔥💙 Like why does this hit so hard to me!! 😭

Fabvl, Jeup, Divide, and everyone else who worked on this, you truly out done yourselves! Amazing work to everyone! This is a mastpiece of project and all the hype lived up to what you produced! Fabvl I watched and listened to you over this last year and a half and you have gotten nothing but better and better! Each song is better than the last! Truly, this is why you are my favorite artist!

Damn this hits hard especially after the most recent MHA episode

[Verse 1] They don't even know my name It's been a long road, been a long road coming All emotion feels the same What do I know? Rather catch you running Cold heat, you won't hear the end of me I am the enemy, not your friend No sleep 'till I kill this energy All these celebrity's play pretend I'm the leader of the pack, that's right Feel it burning on my hands tonight U.A's finest couldn't last one night I'll fight until I'm [Pre-Chorus] Gone, I know It's wrong, so cold Line drawn, no home I'm on my own Yeah [Chorus] Cross my heart, I lost my soul I let my demons in and they took control I'd burn a thousand lives if it made me whole They tried to take my life and it made me cold Through the day, through the night The abuse through my life Made me numb, you can't save me I won't be alright So now it's cross my heart, I lost my soul I let my demons in and they took control [Verse 2] Blue heat when you see me Scarred deep from my past Yeah, I make you look easy But I'll make sure it lasts They all want to defeat me Come and take off your mask Feel my anger increasing Think I'll turn you to ash Shigaraki's not the captain I just sit back and Let it all happen Murder's my passion You just keep acting Burn you like acid I am a dragon Fly as Aladdin Quit all the capping You won't be lasting When I'm in action They say it's tragic I'm just an addict Look at my scars My fate was all fastened Fuck this city, fuck these schools Fuck your pity, fuck these rules Just keep sitting on your jewels It's so fitting, you're all fools I am so finished with you Burn down the city in blue Wishes come true Stuck to the league like it's glue One of the chosen, the few I'll be there soon For now I'm [Pre-Chorus] Gone, I know It's wrong, so cold Line drawn, no home I'm on my own Yeah [Chorus] Cross my heart, I lost my soul I let my demons in and they took control I'd burn a thousand lives if it made me whole They tried to take my life and it made me cold Through the day, through the night The abuse through my life Made me numb, you can't save me I won't be alright So now it's cross my heart, I lost my soul I let my demons in and they took control

Fabvl, You know how different You gotta be to make your inner demons pray? The effort in you put into your instrumentals & your vocals doesn't just make us feel the pain, it almost drowns us in it. & if You think you still got somethin to prove to us, NAH... Knight this man the CROWN. 👑 Man brought down armageddon & is still putting Opps 6 feet under.

Cross my heart was what got me onto this Channel. I will forever love this song and nothing has beaten it for me. When he got to the rap part I woke up my entire house with how loud I was screaming the lyrics. I’m sorry family but FabvL is worth it. Thank you for everything. For every tear you’ve made me shed for every laugh I’ve had for every moment I spent with my family just jamming to you and divide. Your my inspiration for when things get tough and your music is the shoulder I use when I need a good cry. Thank you for bringing music into my life once again.

Following the 6th season, Dabi became my all-time favorite character from any show I've ever seen. I remember hearing Cross My Heart when it first dropped in 2020 and being obsessed with it, as the anger expressed really fit the character. Now that we've dug deeper into his backstory, hearing Cross My Heart Reimagined does not only show the original version through an entirely new perspective, but it also shows the pain Dabi had to endure throughout his life and fits that feeling perfectly. With both versions of the song you've made, I can picture Dabi producing this himself both before and after the reveal in the 11th episode of season 6. This is truly a masterpiece, and the way you projected the pain that Dabi would feel if he were a real character makes me want to cry myself. I want to say that he could've addressed that pain in any other way, but I'd probably do the same thing in his shoes. And that's beside the point; the child he was growing into the person he is truly adds a lot of mystery to the entire My Hero series. Horikoshi doesn't focus the entire story on just one character, he targets a large cast of characters, spicing up the story with a plot, multiple subplots, loads of mystery, and even a spin-off manga series. Seeing fans make fanmade songs truly adds on to the masterpiece of a series Horikoshi created, and having such talented fans out there makes me proud to be a part of this large fanbase, even as exhausting and strange it can sometimes prove to be. Keep up the good work, Fabvl. I love your stuff and I hope you come out with more reimagined versions of the songs that were already a masterpiece. I honestly did not think the original Cross My Heart could be made any better than it was, but you have proven me dead wrong with this remastered masterpiece of what was (and still is) a masterpiece.

NO NO NO FABVL!!! I ALMOST CRIED 😭😭 This reimagined version of this song almost tore me to pieces. Only you do this to me, Fabvl. The orchestra feel, the dynamics in the piano, the emotions in your vibrato, the choir and McGwire at the end, the production level by you and Divide, the master by Chris Gehringer, and the phenomenal visuals by Jeup almost broke me down. This song shows your growth and how far you've come, and I couldn't be more happy and proud of you. You are one of my inspirations to make music, and I'm so happy I found you. Keep making great music Fabvl, you're killing it right now. ❤❤

Tone is incredibly important and this song proves that, the song was harsh and aggressive, simply slowing it down and adjusting your pronunciation changes the entire theme... you and divide took a work of art and turned it into a masterpiece

This hits deep. Its serene and blissful, hopeful yet filled with sorrow and sadness at the same time. One of my favorites reimagined into a new masterpiece. Fabvl you are an artistic genius. Dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise

Man it really sounds like dabi is crying in this. Like hes straining to sing and is dying on the inside. Wanting endeavors approval while also wanting to burn him from his life and all that's left is numbness... Truly poetic

The Vocals from the OG showed the anger in Dabi's eyes and the Reimagined Mixing reflect on the pain of his abused childhood.

It took me to the end of the song to realize that this real imagination focuses on Dabi's reaction to pain cuz in the 1st one it was more of "I've been hurt so I'm hurting others for revenge" compared to the second,it's saying "I am hurt but I need something to help full that void and I am stuck in suffering and nothing can save me." I love how even when using the same lyrics it's just the music and the vocal changes can help change the whole meaning while sticking to the same generalization and I love how favbl does that as a music artist along with other creators live divide music. In summary,I love this song, what they did,the edits, the idea the creators and I am a massive fan.

This is insane. I already thought the original was the best song on the channel and this version is potentially even better. Definitely way more emotional. This is a masterpiece!

You really showed Dabi's internal thoughts and exterior at the same time. The voice and lyrics (which we hear more prominently) are rough and hateful. You can tell the anger and determination, but then theres the music. The soft background adding to the harsh tone tells a different story. The music itself sounds soft, scared and sad. Its desperate and begging to be heard, to be helped while the lyrics say the opposite. Just like Dabi himself. Absolutely fantastic.

"Cross My Heart" was my favorite fabvl song so during this I was smiling the whole time

🇧🇷 meu deus, isso está maravilhoso!!❤️ Conseguimos notar o tanto de amor e carinho que vocês deram a esse remake, INCRIVEL!!❤️❤️

Great tune 🤘

This song makes me think what Dabi could've been if he wasn't abandoned and forgotten. Brilliant as always!

i feel the anger and madness in the lyrics and the longing and regret in the voice , an absolute incinerator of a track, my heart aches now..

It’s crazy how just by changing the tone of a song with the same lyrics, it feels totally different. This was amazing

This is how you know how much you've grown and evolved in music in these years. FANTASTIC WORK MAN!! (EDITED: I don't think I've ever got these much likes before, thank you all.)

When you listen to the original, it's mostly just rage and hatred, but when you listen to this version, you can still feel that but you can feel the emotion and the sadness and pain. It hits hard. This is beautiful fabvl. Honestly thank you. 😌

The original song was agressive and so filled with such hatred and rage that this one makes you think about the recent developments between dabi and others in the manga it vocalizes what he could have been while the old one vocalizes what he is now as always an amazing piece of work

isso é incrível!!! nós do Brasil amamos suas músicas 🇧🇷♥️♥️

Straight goosebumps. This man only gets better with every drop omg!!

This song really packs up a punch you know n it really makes me emotionally involved too

This song feels all the emotions, I love the end when we take the pov of toya with him reaching out with sadness and rage, takes hold new meaning of the character with what he went through, ima listen to this song when I work, I love all your songs fabvl ❤

There is no denying the original Dabi song was a banger and the fact you weren't going to upload it to begin with is crazy but then gave us that gem we thank you. This one however... Wow like seriously wow that redone chorus was fantastic BUT then it dropped straight into that next verse and I was blown away. I'm glad we have both versions now and you and anyone who worked on this did incredible work 🔥💜

The emotion I felt when listening to this... Damn. This almost sounds like he's reflecting on everything. Like Dabi won, he got everything he wanted and achieved what he said he would achieve. But still feels empty, looking back on all he sacrificed and turned to ash to get to this point. Just thinking to himself "Was it worth it?" Thank you Fabvl for making an already epic song, epic-er. (That's a word now. Deal with it.)

Thank you for this wonderful piece of art!

U can literally feel the sadness of dabi's origin and how he became so cold only in around 3 to 4 min....... truly a masterpiece, GJ FABVL

This song reimagined…my favorite track of them all. It feels like I’m listening to three of the five stages of Grief. The original: Anger. This version? Depression and Acceptance. It’s like watching the world through Dabi’s eyes, and feeling the pain he’s gone through. Well done. I am absolutely blown away by this. I didn’t think I could love Cross my Heart more. But I do because of this

Isso tá incrível...🗿🍷

Hey fabvl, just wanted to say thanks for everything you've made especially this song. Just got my Spotify wrapped and found out you were my number 1 artist for the year which isn't too surprising, I'm super proud to be in the top 1% of listeners this year and I hope so many more people discover your amazing work next year, thanks again man.

I hate myself for not listening to this and slamming it onto my playlist the day it came out. Like, my god. The power and soul you put into every word and every line, let alone the fact that I've heard these words before. The fact you can take an already banger of a song and make it hit harder than ever before is just a testament to how absolutely talented you are. 2:18 This Is absolutely the best part of ANY...ANY SONG that I've listened to since Breaking Me Down. The PASSION and RAW EMOTION you drive into it. I probably sound like a broken record at this point, I know, but, this is just amazing. This entire song is amazing. Honestly, you are just nothing like the rest. You seem to just push yourself beyond your limits with every song you record and that's what I respect. You deserve far more views and subscribers for your talents and I hope you get them all and more.

This version feels a lot in pain. The vocals are outstanding. You can really feel the emotions in this one

"I'm gone, I know, it's wrong, so cold, line drawn, no home, I'm on my own." Gave me chills every time. You're incredible Fabvl! I loved hearing a reimagined version of one of my favorite songs, thank you for putting thought and emotion into this like you always do. Still my favorite artist, you'll probably be number one on my Spotify records for 2022 😂 I can actually listen to it on Spotify! Today is a wonderful day. (There's no explicit filter)

I legit started crying after hearing this. In a rough patch right now and feels tough climbing out, and this song cheered me up with the original version and to hear it's powerful words again just blows my mind. 11/10 Fabvl, Divide and Jeup. You three together, whether it be you in the lead or Divide, will make some of the best music I will ever listen to. Period.

This just shows to the world the emotional range and versatility of both Fabvl and Divide. Cross My Heart was a straight classic of intensity and blood pumping adrenaline. The passion and contrast with the same lyrics through a new lense with such polish just proves that these two artists are just leveling up with every song, every month, every year. Gods this song is not going to leave my head for ages! You got me again man!

Gave me goosebumps from the first line, the delivery on everything was amazing, you truly implemented everything you've learned and mastered since you first made this song, this was fucking amazing

🇧🇷 essa musica é definitivamente a minha favorita Fabvl parabéns eu literalmente gritei ouvindo isso 😂 está edição perfeita, seus vocais, seu drive tudo esta perfeitos!

Such a beautiful song, the true nature of Dabi is found to be so relatable. This remake is amazing, I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt a strong bond to this song. Very well done Fabvl and DIVIDE, you've done it again. 🖤

Just like Ronnie Radke accomplished with the "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined", this version captures the motif of the lyrics SO MUCH deeper! GORGEOUS rendition!!!

The original song was already insane but this just surprised me. Fabvl has made a huge evolution over this year and continues to grow. Keep doing what ur doing bro, we love you!

This is emotional! Dabi have been through so much within this family and he suffered way more than people think! He’s a character that will continue to fight! Fabvl made this song emotional! Let’s go!

You can here the emotion in his voice, I'm actually shedding tears through the whole thing. Production is exquisite, amazing all round!!!!

This is the most beautiful and inspiring song I've EVER listened to. Thank you Divide and Fabvl for giving us THE Crown Jewel of the ENTIRE Nerdcore community. This is and forever will be, the most timeless piece of this Era. 💙🙏

It’s still crazy to believe that the biggest song of your career…. You almost scrapped. This right here was raw emotion and I loved every second of it, truly beautiful

He always gets the emotions right. Hit I'm the right spots. Never stop king 👑

I never really listened to anything by Fab before, only when he popped up as vocals and such in Divide's videos. My guy, you are awesome. You and Divide both. You're amazing solo and amazing working together. I love it.

Incredible. emotional. A Masterpiece. Shows how far you've come.

The fact that this song with a completely different sound can make just as much of an impact as the original version proves not only how well this version was done, but also how downright fantastic you are at making music Fabvl

Every second of this was beautiful and painful at the same time, just hearing the instrumental gave me chills, I’m shivering. 11/10

the raw emotion you can feel and hear from this makes me cry, yet its so beautiful and moving. good job

Cross my heart was the first Fabvl song I ever listened to. It was deep 😔. But this, this is on a whole other level. Now it carries even more meaning and depth than the original version. Thank you so much @Fabvl 😔🖤

The production is next level, the video is insane, and the delivery on the vocals just hits DIFFERENT fr fr. FabvL out here trying to burn our houses down with this one line... Bro, it's not even fair lol.

The difference is unreal the vibe is amazing , the instrumental is absolutely beautiful . This is absolutely outstanding work .

Listening to this while writing an English essay about perspective really helped me through a tough roadblock I had been at for about 3 years, thank you. Keep up the amazing work, you’re killing it. Much love

100 years late to this but I just want to say how incredibly much I appreciate this song. Both versions are amazing and they radiate such different emotions for his character so well. The original version radiates raw anger and this one just encompasses the trauma and the hurt so well. And as someone who has been through trauma that just changes you so completely, I’ve loved these songs. You can be angry but that that also doesn’t mean you aren’t hurt. And sometimes that pain fills you with vitriol and rage but also underlying vulnerability and fear. And I feel like the two versions you’ve made really exemplify that.

esse cara é inexplicável, muito lindo, as melodias, letra, instrumental, vocal, edição, mix e master tudo... só agradeço 🙏

That's amazing. If the first version shows how angry and insane Dabi is, then this version how Toya actually feels how he's sad and for some reason I it felt like he was crying. Amazing song 🔥🔥🔥

I've been around since the first version of this and re listening to it now in the version, makes me so happy to be apart of this nerd core family. The thousands upon millions of people who all come together to enjoy these amazing artists is something truly amazing. And I'm glad to be apart of it. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙏🙏🙌🙌💞💞

This just perfect. The emotion in this version is just so different and it hits so much harder in the feels. Everyone who worked on this deserves their props cause this is beautiful

Absolutely incredible, this is nerdcore track of the year EASILY. Fabvl and Divivde together are a cheat code, been that way since they made the Cassidy overwatch song. I loved this performance with this production, stunning 😇🔥

OMFG all of it is so amazing and even better it shows even more of dabis emotions than the first one and really shows you it’s about him and no one else amazing work fabvl

I am in awe. From the time the track started to the time the chorus faded out I was amazed. This reimagining of one of your greatest songs ever is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for this wonderful masterpiece.

This already hit hard as a song, the context from the series is going to be interesting alongside it, but seriously Fabvl is a amazing musician

This is getting me emotional. Cross My Heart was one of the songs that really stayed in my mind, and this is just a super welcome change. The high powered emotion I can hear in your voice with the background vocals forming the heavenly chorus is just such an amazing experience. I love this, and I am blessed for having been allowed to hear this masterpiece.

It's so emotional and epic. Well made and produced. The visuals are above and beyond expectations. Kudos for a job you excelled at!

This is.... The editing amazing, and I love what you did with the audio, especially that small touch with the thunder and rain in the background, not only that you can sense A LOT more emotion infact I actually cried listening to this.....

Oh. My. Gosh. Man, you've proven again why you're my favorite artist. That was ridiculous! I don't think I ever would have expected to have tears forming from a Dabi song, but that transition from the pre-chorus to the first chorus with your obsoletely gorgeous falsetto made me do just that! This is an incredible reimagining of the song.

Cross my heart was the first song of yours that I ever heard, and I’m just sitting here think how crazy it is how slower lyrics, different background music, and shifted emphasis in the words can change a song from “I’m going to turn this world to ash” to “this world has killed me already so I might as well return the favor”. First time around sounded like pure anger made sound, while this time it sounds like a somber tragedy.

This is an impeccable/immaculate, sublime, phenomenal, incredible, ultimate culminating, spectacular, and cinematic artistic masterpiece. This is my favorite thing you've ever done. This your best and most beautiful project and work to me!

I thought the original version was a look into the character, but this just go's so far above. Very happy I have listened to it now. Fantastic work with all your music.

You just keep improving huh, its amazing to see. Everything about this track is a spectacle man. The instrumental, the mix, the vocals, just, wow. I have to say my favorite part of this track is the re-imagined 2nd Verse, it was sick how you went for a more melodic approach rather than just rapping but changing the flow.

The emotions in this track is crazy

So glad you made a remake of this masterpiece. This was the first song I heard by you. Been a fan ever since. Really cool to see a refined version, 10/10! Love you Fabvl!

The year is getting close over, and after the absolutely legendary performance by this man in each and every track this year I wanna see him run a poll of everyone's favorite FabvL track from 2022. And let me tell you, I would have a hell of a time picking

Good god…I truly didn’t think we could improve too much on the original, but you absolutely murdered this. This is filled with so much raw, genuine emotion and I’m absolutely here for it. Mad Love, Fantastic🖤🔥

It feels like the same message, The original was powerful and filled with hatred from Dabi, yet this is a stern calming declaration. This sounds amazing, great work.

Such a phenomenal evolution over the original track, it’s so easy to see how far Fabvl has come in the past years and I’m so excited to see where he goes from here. This was one of those songs were after hearing it I was left completely speechless, absolutely one of my new favorite songs not even just from Fabvl but in general. Keep on rocking man, you’re one of the best out there right now.

I absolutely LOVE this song! Fabvl, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for always providing us with your true works of art. Every song you make, it’s not just something that you put little effort in, its something that makes those who listen feel something and that is only because of how hard and how much effort you put into your work. I am truly grateful for you, your music, and the work you put into it. Thank you again for always providing beautiful works!

Man this version hits so much in a different way. I remember the original coming out and listening to it with my siblings in the car for a long time. This hits home. 🔥
