Gel Aquino explores themes of heartbreak in new single ‘Kinakaya’

Singer-songwriter Gel Aquino has released a deeply personal and moving single, “Kinakaya,” under GMA Music. The song, which taps into the experience of heartbreak and loss, draws inspiration from Aquino’s journey through grief and healing.

Aquino explains that “Kinakaya” is a tribute to those who have suffered the pain of being left behind by loved ones.

“My inspiration is those who were hurt by love and those who were left behind by their loved ones. Those broken-hearted who experienced being left behind. ‘Yung mga kailangang bumitaw sa isang relasyon kaya ngayon kinakaya nila ang pag-mo-move on na wala na ang taong mahal nila. ‘Yun ang inspiration nito,” she shared.

The song was born during a particularly challenging time in Aquino’s life.

“I wrote this when I was actively writing and composing songs. During this time, I was heartbroken and very depressed; it was during the pandemic, and my grandmother passed away. I didn’t know immediately that she was gone; I found out two months later. So, this is also for my grandmother and for people who have experienced being left by their loved ones,” she recalled.

The loss of her grandmother served as a significant catalyst for the song’s creation.

“I am independent and I don’t communicate much with my relatives. Then I saw messages saying that my grandmother was gone. That’s why during those months, I kept dreaming about my grandmother. That’s why I wrote this song for my grandmother, to express how I am coping with the pain of her absence. We didn’t even get to see each other before she passed away,” Aquino admitted.

Aquino hopes that “Kinakaya” will offer solace and strength to listeners facing their own struggles.

“The message of the song is that we need to endure the pain that we feel from a person who left us. We need time to heal and not lose hope, and not think that this pain is endless. There will come a time when you will be happy again and you will be stronger. You can transform yourself to be a better person then.”

“Kinakaya” is now available on digital platforms.
