British-Norwegian pop group a1 are celebrating their special relationship with the Philippines with the release of their brand-new single, “In Love in the Philippines,” available exclusively in the Philippines from September 25.
Written and produced by a1, the uplifting new track is inspired by falling in love with both a person and a place — and by a country that has held a special place in the band’s story for more than two decades.
The Philippines has remained one of a1’s most passionate homes away from home, with Filipino fans continuing to support the band across generations.
“We’ve shared so many incredible moments with our fans in the Philippines. This song feels like our love letter back to them — and to a country that has given us memories we’ll never forget.” — a1
With a new chapter of a1 music beginning, there could be no better place to start.
This September, a1 are falling in love with the Philippines all over again. 🇵🇭❤️
“In Love in the Philippines”

Philippines Exclusive — September 25
A1 by Manila’s Side Again: Announces Highly Anticipated Return to Philippines this October 2026.
Every time fans think it couldn’t get better, A1 comes back for more. The British-Norwegian pop band is set to bring the “kilig” and nostalgia to their Filipino fans once again, performing in Cebu on 16 October at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, 17 October – New Frontier Theater, Cubao & Santa Rosa Sports Complex, Laguna 18th October 2026.
Following their highly successful Valentine’s Tour in the same cities in February 2025, the group, consisting of Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Ben Adams, returns for a night that goes far beyond a trip down memory lane.
From the soulful harmonies of “Like a Rose”, the fan favorite “Everytime”, the sweet and heartfelt ballad “Heaven by Your Side”, to the high-octane energy of “Same Old Brand New You,” the connection between the quartet and their Filipino fans remains one of the most enduring love affairs in pop music history.
With more than five visits to the Philippines under their belt, A1 has evolved from international idols into honorary locals. The bond between A1 and their Filipino fans remains a landmark of pop music loyalty, anchored by a foundation of genuine friendship and a mutual devotion to the band’s melodic hits.
A1’s return follows a streak of record-breaking milestones. Their 2023 TWENTY FIVE Anniversary Tour saw packed arenas in Davao and Cebu, culminating in a back-to-back Manila concert after the first night sold out almost instantly.
“We’ve just been received so well every time we perform in the Philippines,” the band shared in an interview. “You don’t get a better welcome than here.”
Don’t get “Caught in the Middle” and miss your chance to be part of this iconic homecoming.
