<p>Kapamilya singer-actress Shanaia Gomez is stepping into songwriting with her latest single, “Tried to Tell You“.</p><p>In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, she shared that the song was inspired by a fading relationship.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHInMnJBAuK/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A2340028.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A30724.30000001192%2C%22le%22%3A31135%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“It&#x27;s actually a little different from other singles I&#x27;ve released. It&#x27;s a bit of a slower ballad. It&#x27;s called ‘Tried To Tell You’. It&#x27;s a song that I personally wrote. Kaya medyo close to my heart. It&#x27;s about being in a relationship and trying to be able to express to your partner na hindi ka masaya,” she explained.</p><p>Shanaia continued, noting that the song also tackles communication issues and how one partner isn’t making any effort to improve the relationship.</p><p>“There are some things that you&#x27;re just not exactly happy about. And for some reason, this partner just doesn&#x27;t wanna listen and they&#x27;re not truly listening to what you&#x27;re saying,” she added.</p><p>The <em>Pinoy Big Brother </em>alumna revealed that the song was written in 2023, loosely inspired by her own personal experience.</p><p>“I actually wrote this song a few years ago, mga 2023, and it&#x27;s actually based on a relationship years ago from that. But, it is personal to me in the sense that the song is based on that relationship, but not everything naman. Hindi naman all the details of the song are about that person,” the singer shared.</p><p>Shanaia admitted that she’s been careful not to make the song too directly about her past.</p><p>“I also like taking things from other relationships or, you know, other stories that my friends have told me about their relationships and what also didn&#x27;t make it work for them. As a songwriter and as a host, I feel like it&#x27;s really important to listen to other people&#x27;s stories about their relationships. That helps me a lot with my songwriting. And medyo takot pa ako to make it like 100% about me,” she explained.</p><p>But contrary to the heartbreaking theme of the song, Shanaia teased that her heart is currently happy.</p><p>“The inspiration is very personal to me. But don&#x27;t worry, guys. Masaya naman kami ngayon. So, we&#x27;re very happy now. We&#x27;re very healed,” Shaiana expressed.</p><div><iframe width="1265" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FOYY7Mdi9Bo" title="Shanaia Gomez - &#x27;Tried To Tell You&#x27; Official Lyric Video" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The lyric video for &quot;Tried to Tell You&quot; is now available on the ABS-CBN Star Music YouTube channel and is also streaming on various platforms.</p>
