<p>Singer-songwriter Kiana Valenciano shared her desire to create music that is relatable and emotionally honest.</p><p>In a recent online interview, Kiana spoke about her newly-released single, &quot;Falling Out”,  a slow-burning R&amp;B track inspired by conversations with friends about dating and heartbreak. The young artist revealed that hearing her friends talk about their relationship experiences, many of which mirrored her own, sparked the idea for her new song.</p><p>“I wanted this to mirror that feeling of when you’re hanging out with all your friends and you&#x27;re just talking and sharing stories because a lot of my friends are still single and they&#x27;re dating. There&#x27;s a point where we were all, you know, making chika and making chismis and they were talking about situation of theirs that mirrored something that I have gone through in the past almost exactly the same,” Kiana told PUSH ABS-CBN.</p><iframe class="instagram-media" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKRGm6nxMkK/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%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A10701474.799999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="0" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" 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;min-width:326px;padding:0px;position:absolute"></iframe><blockquote class=" instagram-media-registered" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKRGm6nxMkK/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" id="instagram-media-payload-8" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKRGm6nxMkK/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKRGm6nxMkK/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Kiana V 🇵🇭 (@kianavee)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“I found that interesting because ‘oh my gosh we are at different phases of our lives now and it&#x27;s so crazy that we share this story even if it’s with different people.’ So that&#x27;s what really inspired me. That&#x27;s when it hit me that this group of girls, we&#x27;ve all been through the same thing, and I had to write a song about that moment, that realization,” she added.</p><p>The track, officially released in May, serves as an empowering anthem for women, capturing the internal struggle of knowing when it&#x27;s time to walk away from a toxic relationship.</p><p>Kiana described &quot;Falling Out&quot; as “one of my many songs that dive into the toxic patterns I let myself fall into. I’m out, I’m good, and I’m hoping the same for anyone else going through it.”</p><p>Kiana hopes the song becomes a soundtrack for intimate gatherings, something fans and listeners can dance to, laugh with, and relate to on a personal level.</p><p>“I just hope that people would just dance to it. I would love to be a soundtrack to gatherings when friends are all together. I’d love to be part of that. I’d love for the music to be part of that. And so it’s good vibes and just honest music,” she shared.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKWbo9tRgwx/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%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A10680955.100000009%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="823" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>She also explained that the song stays true to her R&amp;B roots while focusing on the theme of love and the challenge of letting go.</p><p>“In terms of concept, I’ve found that I like exploring this problem of letting go of a bad cycle,” she explained. “Lyrically and storywise, it is quite similar in that sense of ‘how do i walk away from a bad situation’. But I think I&#x27;ve been more honest in this where I am speaking directly to the singer; I&#x27;m speaking directly to whoever I’m directing the lyrics to. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKTYatnxTg6/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%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A10654944.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="823" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Meanwhile, Kiana teased an exciting full-length album which features all of her original music, including “Falling Out”.</p><p>“It’s mostly English.
