Unfortunately, he’s left heartbroken when it’s revealed that the girl already has a lover, whom she marries at the end of the video.</p><p>“LMLY,” which dropped on Friday, takes on a catchy synth-pop sound while its music video offers a heart-wrenching story of unrequited love that Wang believes many people can relate with.</p><p>“I think a lot of people experienced it. Them, loving a girl, loving a guy… but they always hold it in, you know? They don’t really go and approach,” Wang said in an interview with ABS-CBN News ahead of the song’s release.</p><p>“I’m just here to tell you guys, if you really like somebody, you should really make a move and tell them, to express, ‘Hey I like you or maybe let’s give it a chance.’ But if it happened to be, you know, you don’t get it back, then hey, it’s what it is so let’s move on,” he added.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1649663" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Asked if he’s ever experienced unrequited or one-sided romance, Wang answered: “Me and the Philippines.
