Demi Chooses Love with Conviction in Comeback Single ‘Sinasabi Ng Iba’

Filipino singer-songwriter DEMI returns with “Sinasabi Ng Iba,” a laid-back R&B single about choosing someone despite outside opinions.

Released through Sony Music Entertainment, the track pairs her familiar sultry sound with writing that reflects a more emotionally mature perspective on love. Its message centers on loyalty and the confidence to stand by a relationship without letting other people define it.

A Familiar Sound With a New Perspective

For DEMI, the single connects the music listeners already know with the direction she wants to pursue.

“I believe it’s the perfect blend of my old era and the direction I want to take moving forward,” she shares. “The sultry, sensual sound that people have always come to expect from my music is still there, while the writing evolves into something more mature and wholesome.”

That shift extends beyond this song. As she grows personally, DEMI wants her work to become more intentional about the values and perspectives it conveys.

“Syempre, I grow old, I mature—so gusto ko sabay lang din yung direction ng art ko,” she explains.

The result is a romantic statement built around knowing who she wants and expressing that choice openly.

A Song That Took Time to Find Its Sound

The lyrics to “Sinasabi Ng Iba” date back to 2023, but its musical direction developed later.

DEMI revisited the song in 2025, when she found the sound she wanted and entrusted the project to Jianluigi “Plumberboi” Masongsong, who handled production, mixing, mastering and track engineering.

During that period, she had been listening frequently to American singer-songwriter Leon Thomas. His music helped inform the atmosphere she envisioned, while Plumberboi brought his own interpretation to the arrangement.

The relaxed R&B production gives the writing space, preserving the directness of DEMI’s original ideas.

“The writing is still the same, raw, DEMI—but more emotionally mature,” she says.

A Visualizer About Explaining Yourself

The single’s lyric visualizer approaches its relationship theme through an unexpected setting: DEMI explaining herself to members of the media and reporters.

The concept draws a connection between publicly defending one’s intentions and feeling pressured to justify a relationship to people outside it.

The release scheduled the visualizer’s premiere for October 14 at 7 p.m. on DEMI’s official YouTube channel.

“Sinasabi Ng Iba” is out now on digital streaming platforms worldwide, bringing DEMI’s evolving perspective into a song about affection, loyalty and personal conviction.
