A1 Releases ‘In Love in the Philippines’ Ahead of October 2026 Tour
Last Updated on September 25, 2026 by Over Here Toronto
A1’s “In Love in the Philippines” arrives on September 25, giving Filipino fans a new song made especially for the country. The British-Norwegian pop group created the track as a tribute to its decades-long bond with Filipino listeners.
The release comes just weeks before A1 returns for concerts in Cebu, Quezon City, and Santa Rosa, Laguna this October.
‘In Love in the Philippines’ Is A1’s Love Letter to Filipino Fans
“In Love in the Philippines” draws inspiration from falling for both a person and a place.
For A1, that place is the Philippines.
Filipino fans have supported the group for more than two decades. Songs such as “Like a Rose,” “Everytime,” and “Caught in the Middle” remain familiar favorites among longtime listeners.
“This song feels like our love letter back to them,” the group shared.
A1 wrote and produced the new track themselves. The group released it exclusively in the Philippines on September 25.
The single also begins another chapter for the band before its October tour.
Why the Philippines Still Matters to A1
A1 has built a long relationship with Filipino fans.
The current lineup includes Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Ben Adams. The group has returned to the Philippines several times throughout its career.
Their most recent visit came during the Valentine’s Tour in February 2025.
Before that, A1 brought its Twenty Five Anniversary Tour to the country in 2023. The tour included stops in Davao and Cebu. Strong demand also led to back-to-back Manila concerts.
Those visits helped strengthen the group’s connection with Filipino audiences.
Now, A1 has turned that relationship into a song made specifically for the Philippines.
For fans who grew up listening to the group’s ballads, the upcoming shows offer plenty of nostalgia. At the same time, “In Love in the Philippines” gives them something new to hear.

That leaves Cebu and Santa Rosa as the main options for fans who still want to catch A1 during this run.
Those interested should check the official ticketing platforms for current availability.
Fans should also avoid unofficial resellers. Buying through authorized platforms reduces the risk of invalid or overpriced tickets.

For fans who still keep “Like a Rose” and “Everytime” on their playlists, the new single adds another chapter to A1’s Philippine story.
