SunKissed Lola Makes Comeback With “Edi Magalit Ka”

After more than a year since their last EP release, SunKissed Lola returns with “Edi Magalit Ka,” a warm, playful, and honest new single that builds on the heartfelt storytelling behind previous fan favorites such as “Pasilyo,” “Paki Sabi,” and “Makalimutan Ka.” Turning a familiar Filipino phrase into a song about love, patience, and choosing the relationship over the argument, the track marks a fresh yet familiar chapter for the band.

Known for heartfelt songs about love, longing, and the emotions people carry through relationships, SunKissed Lola enters a new chapter with a track that feels both familiar and refreshing. “Edi Magalit Ka” takes its title from a phrase often heard in everyday conversations, especially between couples and friends, but the band gives it a softer meaning. Instead of sounding dismissive or prideful, the song becomes an affectionate way of saying that even when things get difficult, love is still there.

“It’s a song about relationships,” vocalist Laura Lacbain shares. “Hindi maiiwasan ang away sa relationship, pero hindi pa rin mawawala ang love. Susuyuin pa rin sa huli.”
Vocalist and guitarist Alvin “Bino” Serito describes the track as a “loving anthem,” saying that even when someone is upset, the feeling behind the song remains tender. “Even if you’re mad with your special someone, at the end of the day, they’re still your favorite person to come home to,” he says.

The song first began in 2021, but its earliest version carried a more prideful tone. As the track developed, the band softened the lyrics and gave the song more emotional openness. According to vocalist and guitarist Dan Ombao, Bino helped shape the confession-like parts of the song and added the line “’Di ba?” to make the message feel gentler.

Bino explains that the heart of the song lies in choosing love over ego. “No one has to win,” he says. “I will always choose the relationship over the argument.”
That emotional shift became central to the final version of “Edi Magalit Ka.” What could have been read as stubborn or sarcastic became something more sincere. The title itself invites curiosity because it depends on how the listener understands it.
“The title was intriguing in itself,” Laura says. “You will be curious. Pwedeng i-send sa jowa. You really need to listen to the song to understand the context.”

Musically, “Edi Magalit Ka” also reflects a more relaxed and intentional side of SunKissed Lola. Dan shares that the song started as an acoustic piece before he brought it to the rest of the band. From there, the arrangement came together naturally, with each member adding their own parts.
