MANILA, Philippines — Critically acclaimed artist on the rise Alaina Castillo has dropped her first single, the addictive “stfu (i got u)”, off her debut album scheduled for release on the third quarter of 2021. The song is her cheeky take on the dynamics of a young relationship. Arriving just in time for Valentine's Day, Alaina used her huge TikTok following to help fans reel in their crush by sharing their stories of young love and broken hearts. Simultaneously with the official music video premiere on YouTube’s red carpet, Alaina hosted a hotline for fans to call in to share their thoughts and relationship stories. Sharpening her writing skills in both languages, Castillo eventually found a new uninhibited sense of freedom when moving to Austin for college and started putting music up on the internet, unknown to her family.
