<div style="text-align:justify"><strong>After 12 years of being based in the US, the Chinese-Filipino American singer-songwriter returns home with a deeply personal pop/R&amp;B single about love, heartbreak, and knowing your self-worth. </strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Chinese-Filipino American singer-songwriter <strong><u>Eila</u></strong> comes home to the Philippines for the first time in 12 years with a new release that unveils a significant chapter in her personal life. Based in New Jersey, USA, the very promising recording artist recently dropped <strong><u>“Loving Me Wrong,”</u></strong> a vulnerable and exposed exploration of love, hurting, and worth enhanced by an engaged melody and her smooth lilting voice.</p><div><iframe data-testid="embed-iframe" style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1z6n3mfjzTkpj7kPbKt1Ue?utm_source=generator&amp;si=1fb11e7bac3f4fdf" width="100%" height="352" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"> </div><p style="text-align:justify">Combining alternative R&amp;B with contemporary pop, <strong><u>Eila</u></strong> has gradually cultivated a distinct musical identity through atmospheric, affecting productions that display her emotional range and vocal malleability. Alongside her original music, she has carved out for herself a steadily growing audience on <strong>TikTok</strong> and <strong>Instagram</strong> through vocal performances, music and lifestyle content, and fun, playful vocal impressions—an unconventional path that has ultimately helped lead lnew followers toward her original work. <strong></strong></p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@eila.music/video/7550461971435441421" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7550461971435441421" id="v15029226548648356" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v15029226548648356" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7550461971435441421?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-26T13%3A23%3A45.642329%3Aaeea1a85-a451-418d-8dbb-47ec5d85e179%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>“Loving Me Wrong”</u></strong> follows her recent single <strong><u>“Living Proof,”</u></strong> an earnest, positive song about the ecstasy that comes with true love that also presented an early hint into the sonic path of her upcoming EP. While “Living Proof” tilts into the kindheartedness and elation of love, her new song turns inward, tackling the convoluted emotions that come with staying in a relationship that no longer benefits you. </p><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JdBU5RqZYXs?si=gnpohCPSEUbE_bPg" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">“&#x27;<strong>Loving Me Wrong&#x27;</strong> takes me right back to being young and naively in love, when I was caught in that volatile cycle of constant highs and lows,” <strong><u>Eila</u></strong> shares. “You convince yourself that you’re just one argument away from turning it all around.” </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Rather than diminishing the experience to plain heartbreak, the song recognizes the emotional paradoxes that can happen within a toxic, unhealthy relationship. Eila wishes <strong><u>“Loving Me Wrong”</u></strong> can offer listeners a sense of validation while also urging them to realize their self-worth. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">“I hope that anyone who’s been there can listen to the track and feel validated without any judgment,” she says. “It is completely possible to feel genuine happiness and devastating heartbreak at the exact same time. I also hope that <strong><u>‘Loving Me Wrong’</u></strong> can serve as a turning point and a reminder to never settle for less than you deserve.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The song also signifies an important step forward in <strong><u>Eila</u></strong>’s growth as a songwriter and performer. She describes her maturity as an artist as a less linear journey than her personal development, with much of her progress coming from learning to accept trying new things, collaboration, and vulnerability.  </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">That advancement became especially crystalline clear during a songwriting camp where <strong><u>“Loving Me Wrong”</u></strong> was first conceived. Early in her songwriting journey, <strong><u>Eila</u></strong> often discovered herself too ill at ease to experiment easily around other her fellow writers, sometimes leaving the room plainly to try out other melodies or lyrics on her own. Over time, however, that very collaborative surroundings became one of the most gratifying aspects of her creative process.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">“Being in that collaborative space was a beautiful reminder that music is ultimately about connection,” she says. “That writing camp was actually where <strong><u>‘Loving Me Wrong’</u></strong> was born, and it really represents my evolution toward embracing vulnerability in both my music and myself.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><u>Eila</u></strong>’s return to the Philippines adds another evocative facet to the song. The singer was last seen in the country in 2014, when she performed a cover on <strong><u>Master Showman</u></strong> <strong><u>German Moren</u></strong>o’s <strong><u>Walang Tuluga</u></strong>n. At the time, she says, she did not yet have the confidence to perform her material. A dozen years and 18 releases later, she returns with a stronger sense of identity and a newfound confidence in the artist she has devloped into.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Her Philippine visit is also a personal homecoming. Both of <strong><u>Eila</u></strong>’s parents grew up in the Philippines before immigrating to the United States, and her Chinese-Filipino heritage has played an essential part in influencing her love for music. From family karaoke sessions to her parents’ unswerving support for her artistic dreams, Eila credits her upbringing with nurturing her passion for music and showing her how music can bring people together.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">That connection shows in her growing Filipino audience. The Philippines is currently <strong><u>Eila</u></strong>’s second-largest listening demographic on Spotify and other major streaming platforms, making her return particularly meaningful as she promotes <strong><u>“Loving Me Wrong” </u></strong>to Filipino listeners.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">“Having that kind of support from my community gives me the energy to keep pursuing my dreams, and I’m excited to connect with even more listeners,” Eila says. She also plans to continue sharing covers of Filipino songs as a way of honoring artists who paved the way for greater Asian representation while celebrating her roots.</p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@eila.music/video/7238261993625505067" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7238261993625505067" id="v43358655048629570" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v43358655048629570" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7238261993625505067?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-26T13%3A23%3A45.642329%3Aaeea1a85-a451-418d-8dbb-47ec5d85e179%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:745px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@eila.music/video/7234294959745240366" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7234294959745240366" id="v85903525328468130" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v85903525328468130" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7234294959745240366?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-26T13%3A23%3A45.642329%3Aaeea1a85-a451-418d-8dbb-47ec5d85e179%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@eila.music/video/7241679680586140970" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7241679680586140970" id="v10090884646547348" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v10090884646547348" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7241679680586140970?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-26T13%3A23%3A45.642329%3Aaeea1a85-a451-418d-8dbb-47ec5d85e179%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@eila.music/video/7678064630161313037" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7678064630161313037" id="v89976182339411790" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v89976182339411790" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7678064630161313037?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-26T13%3A23%3A45.642329%3Aaeea1a85-a451-418d-8dbb-47ec5d85e179%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div>
