FACT CHECK: LOLA AMOUR Edition! 🎸 4 Things To Know
1. "Fallen" actually isn't about falling in love but rather about the hesitation and second-guessing that happens when you're convinced your feelings won't be returned! It was written in 2019 based on Pio's personal college experience with a close friend - he was happy with the feelings he was developing but didn't feel optimistic about where things would go, so he chose not to pursue it because he felt it would just complicate things. Eventually, the friend even found out about the song because Pio showed it to her, and they continued to be friends afterward! 💔
2. The #FallenStory challenge started organically after their YouTube premiere when fans were commenting during the live chat that they wanted to confess their own feelings to their crushes! The band saw this as a perfect way to connect with their audience, so they launched the challenge first on Discord with their fans, then expanded it to TikTok - it went viral and reached millions of views with people sharing before-and-after photos of their love confessions! 📱
3. When their Korean keyboardist Martin Kim had to return to Korea, things were very difficult and concerning for the band since he had been such a crucial part of their sound. Fortunately, David Yuhico stepped in - he's a longtime friend of Pio from their UP college days who had been studying film scoring at Berklee College of Music in the US. Their friendship actually started through playing DOTA together, and they used to make music covers during gaming breaks, including a Justin Timberlake cover that went viral on Facebook! David had already been helping the band behind the scenes as a session keyboardist, sound engineer, and music consultant so it made complete sense to have him join officially... and the rest is history! 🎹
4. The band had an eye-opening experience working with international producers during a songwriting camp where they met South Korea's Hyuk Shin and Malaysia's cuurley for their newer single "Dance With My Mistakes"! The camp format was intense, requiring them to finish a complete song each day, which pushed them creatively in ways they hadn't experienced before. What started as a reluctant sharing session, which became part of the emotional foundation for the song. Working with these foreign producers brought a fresh perspective to their sound, helping them craft the crisp bubblegum city pop feel of "Dance With My Mistakes" - a genre shift and collaboration that marks a new level of polish and international appeal in their music! 🌏
