Former “Idol Philippines” contestant and iDolls member Matty J shares a story of heartbreak and forgiveness in his latest single “Moving On,” an anthemic track that underscores self-love after a painful romantic experience love.

The song, penned by Matty five years ago, was inspired by the trauma of someone who felt worthless but eventually attained the catharsis he deserved as the main character in his own story. It was cowritten and produced by Star Pop head Rox Santos.

Matty won the Awit Awards Best Performance by a New Male Recording Artist prize with his first single, “Sayaw ng Mga Tala,” in 2021. (Story/Photos by: Kane Choa)
