Lola Amour has spoken out against political campaigns using their hit song “Raining in Manila” without permission.
On X (formerly Twitter), the band clarified that they did not authorize any campaign jingles featuring their song. “Btw guys, this happened before and I guess it’s happening again: All of the campaign jingles using our songs do not have our consent. Vote wisely,” they wrote.
This statement came after a user expressed frustration over hearing the song repeatedly in campaign ads.
Released in 2024, “Raining in Manila” quickly became a hit, earning recognition from international artists like Enhypen’s Jake and GOT7’s Bambam. Even comedian Michael V. created a parody titled “Waiting Here sa Pila,” about people waiting in long coffee shop lines.
