MANILA, Philippines – A new song entitled “I’ll Love Myself Na Lang (Smoke Then Kama)” is making waves online after it was inspired by the recent drama between Anthony Jennings, his ex-girlfriend Jamela Villanueva, and actress Maris Racal.
The song, written in a mix of English and Tagalog and composed by hedlez on YouTube, talks about heartbreak and betrayal. Its catchy lines and relatable story have captured the attention of fans on social media, quickly turning it into a hit.
The song tells the story of someone who discovers their partner’s betrayal through leaked messages. It includes real lines from the controversial screenshots, like:
“You miss my body,”
“Smoke tapos kama,”
and
“Ugh, yung amoy ng sweater mo.”
The chorus is an empowering message of moving on that includes a sanitized version of the iconic line “I’ll love myself na lang”:
“Masakit, pero I’ll love myself na lang / Natuto na ‘ko, time to move on.”
The drama started when Villanueva shared screenshots of conversations between Jennings and Racal, accusing them of cheating.
The public has since been following the story. With all the drama, the song’s message of self-love and resilience stands out.
