We’re also going to release [a] remixed version and acoustic version,&quot; Zyrus shared.&quot;I&#x27;m happy where I’m at. I’m really happy with the pace. I’m really happy with what;s been happening.&quot;Zyrus just released his latest pop single &#x27;4 Life,&#x27; which was written by John Concepcion who&#x27;s worked with Chris Brown. Zyrus, who’s often seen in social media nailing covers, said his new sounds are inspired by the likes of Brown as well as Justin Bieber.&quot;I didn’t force myself. I kind of just one day, I’m prepared, I’m ready, just start recording it. I did everything. I did the mixing, I produced, and it was just a fun thing.&quot;Zyrus shot to fame as Charice Pempengco about 15 years ago, belching out ballads and making a name for herself in Hollywood.But in 2017, the former Glee Star had transitioned into Jake Zyrus, and after five years, he said he continues to grow more comfortable as a person and as an artist.&quot;I try to move on from the past because I can’t change that in terms of how people see me and call and all that,&quot; he said. &quot;One thing for sure, no one is coming back. But I think everyday when I wake up, I try to remind myself I can’t change my past. I’m living in the present and all I can change is my perspective. Sometimes, I still fail to do that.&quot;Fresh from a performance at the Palm Springs gay pride celebration, Zyrus now has his sights set on his own concert in San Diego on December 10th.&quot;I’m just very excited to be on stage again. It won’t be easy for me because it&#x27;s been a long time and I think I kind of developed a little bit of anxiety being on stage so I’m still working on that but with the right team around, it helped a lot.&quot;While he may be doing most of his work now in the US, Zyrus said he will continue with Philippine projects, and still has a management team there.

'I'm happy where I'm at. I'm really happy with the pace,' Jake Zyrus, who has been stateside for the past year, said.
