Jillian Ward dedicates 'Pumapag-ibig' to everyone in love

Jillian Ward dropped her latest single, “Pumapag-ibig,” on Sunday, and it brings a lot of good vibes.

In Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras” on Monday, Jillian revealed that the song, which is all about expressing feelings for someone, is dedicated to all of those in love. 

"Sa lahat ng pumapag-ibig tsaka sa mga taong gusto nilang happy lang, alam mo 'yun. Ma-express 'yung nararamdaman nila na masaya sila, may nagpapasaya sa kanila.”

The Star of the New Gen performed the danceable track live for the first time on “All-Out Sundays” with a live band. On the show, Jillian was also asked if she is also loving someone right now.

“Magsisinungaling ako ‘pag sinabi ko hindi,” she said.

"Pumapag-ibig" was produced in collaboration with Kreativ U's Kim Hun Jik (Jack). Jillian previously said she helped revise the song's lyrics to make it more personal for her.

“’Pag uma-acting ako, eh meron akong mga characters na pine-play. Pero pagdating naman sa music, gusto ko talagang ito ‘yung maging way ko na ma-express ko ‘yung sarili ko bilang si Jillian,” she said. 

The Kapuso star also has more plans for her music, per Carampel's report.

“Mas ine-effortan ko talaga na mas magkaroon ako ng knowledge sa music. Tapos nag-te-train din ako parati sa pagsayaw ko po, and nag-sa-start na rin ako mag-voice lessons,” she said.

“Meron na rin akong songs na nakabangko na ako ‘yung nagsulat, like ako lang mag-isa nagsulat, na soom ire-release ko siya sa tamang panahon,” she added.

Meanwhile, the actress teased that there will be more action, sad, kilig, and happy scenes coming soon on “Never Say Die.” 

Jillian lent her voice for the original soundtrack of the Kapuso series. 

In 2024, she released her single "Be All Mine" about young love.

“Pumapag-ibig” is out now on streaming platforms.
