Born for You is a 2016 Philippine musical drama television series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Onat A. Diaz, Jon S. Villarin, Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Jerome C. Pobocan and Darnel Joy R. Villaflor, it stars Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It aired on the network's Primetime Bida line up and worldwide on TFC from June 20 to September 16, 2016, replacing The Story of Us and was replaced by Magpahanggang Wakas in Till I Met You's timeslot.

An ancient Japanese myth tells the story about the Red String of Fate, it's when two people with connecting red strings are destined to meet and fall in love. A young hopeless romantic and a Celebrity Heartthrob who share the same love for music find themselves tangled up in their shared past and their connecting red string of fate.

The show ended on September 16, 2016, with a live concert finale held at the Kia Theatre, with a total of 65 episodes and it was replaced by Magpahanggang Wakas, but the schedule time is after FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, while Till I Met You took over Born for You's timeslot.[8]

The series is streaming online on YouTube.[9]
