Former \u201cIdol Philippines\u201d season 2 contestant Chester Padilla expressed the pain of love in his new single “Ako Na Lang Muna<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The emotional ballad, released under Old School Records and Star Music, talks about the feeling of desperately wanting to be loved. With Kikx Salazar’s production and composition, Chester shows his vulnerable side that evokes sorrow and sadness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like it was really written for me. I used to be that kind of person who\u2019s willing to love selflessly. I came to a point where I settled for being the temporary fix, the lover who\u2019s content with just the bare minimum,\u201d said Chester.<\/p>\n

In 2022, he joined the second season of “Idol Philippines” where he got a Platinum ticket and became known for his performance of “With A Smile” and “Leaves.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI started doing song covers on day one. I had no idea I would be able to interpret songs and have it released one day,\u201d recalled Chester. \u201cI joined my first reality singing competition \u2018Idol Philippines Season 2\u2019 and was able to get one of the four platinum tickets during my audition. The utmost pride I have during that time was I fully realized the kind of singer I aspire to be. I want to be able to touch hearts by telling a story, may it be inspirational or hurtfully piercing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a recording artist, he has released singles such as “Kung Nais Mo Na” and “Dating Atin\u201d while his latest single \u201cAko Na Lang Muna\u201d has been featured on Spotify\u2019s Fresh Finds Philippines playlist. Some of his musical influences are The Script, Maroon 5, and Coldplay.<\/p>\n
