i love singing i love live bands i love yearning

R&B song of the year... wow. thank you so much, FMAs. it pains me not to be able to attend and be there tonight. my tour is less than a month away, and I'm on the other side of the world rehearsing day and night. this is my first-ever Filipino Music Award, and the fact that it's for LOVE AGAIN means the world to me. this song was created during a strange chapter of my life. there was so much change, pain, growth, and so many lessons that came with it. i poured a lot of that into this song and into the project as a whole. sonically and lyrically, this was also one of the biggest risks i've taken. I've never made a song like this before. there was a part of me that wondered if people would understand it and if fans would come with me into this new era of my music. so for this song to be recognized like this feels like reassurance that taking that risk was worth it. a song never belongs to just one person once it leaves the room it was created in. so thank you to every producer, writer, engineer, member of my team, and every person who helped bring this record to life. thank you for seeing something in this track and believing in its potential, especially in the moments when i needed a little convincing myself. every hand that touched this song is part of this win. and congratulations to my fellow artists, ALAMAT, for sharing this win with me. i'm incredibly grateful to be alongside fellow Filipino artists who continuously push our wins! a sapphic song just won R&B song of the year in the Philippines!!! how many times can we say that? here's to women loving women. and to loving again! love, deej
