Chen Linong, Lola Amour release cross-border ballad ‘With You’

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Warner Music introduces “With You”, a stirring collaboration between acclaimed Mandopop artist Chen Linong and the Philippines’ chart-topping band Lola Amour. Produced by South Korea’s multi-platinum hitmaker Hyuk Shin, the single is a poignant ballad that brings together three of Asia’s most dynamic music scenes – Mandopop, OPM, and K-pop into one transcendent piece.

“With You” captures the raw emotions of love and longing, inspired by an unwritten letter to a former lover. Built on a minimalist acoustic foundation, the track layers delicate guitar melodies with subtle rain samples, deliberately omitting drums to create an intimate, contemplative space. At its heart lies the interplay of Chen Linong’s empathetic, crystal-clear vocals rising from tender whispers to soulful heights and Lola Amour frontman Pio Dumayas’ rich, expressive tone. Their contrasting styles weave seamlessly, giving the song both texture and emotional depth.

For Lola Amour, the collaboration marks another milestone following their meteoric rise in 2023 with “Raining in Manila”, which dominated Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, and earned them Awit Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The band has since cemented their status as one of the Philippines’ most exciting acts, even sharing the stage with Coldplay during the latter’s Manila stop.

On the production side, Hyuk Shin, renowned as the first Korean producer to break into the Billboard Hot 100 through his work with Justin Bieber, and for collaborations with EXO, NCT, and Dean – delivers his signature touch, elevating the song to world-class standards.

For Chen Linong, one of the most streamed Mandopop artists and a rising force in Greater China, “With You” signifies an important step toward international recognition. With a devoted fanbase and a growing global presence, Linong continues to balance youthful charm with vocal maturity, positioning himself as an artist with both cross-market appeal and lasting vision.

“With You” is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide.
