Ashtine Olviga has made her musical comeback with her debut single, 'Love Like U.' The track conveys a message about recognizing the love that has always been present in one's life.
While the song's upbeat pop melody suggests a romantic theme, Olviga interprets it as a deeper spiritual reflection. She believes that many people seek love in the wrong places, often overlooking the unconditional love that exists around them.
We go on side quests in hopes of finding our worth, value, or the kind of love that we feel we deserve. But sometimes, we end up looking for those in the wrong things, and that drags us down.

Olviga's journey has been shaped by her faith. Raised Catholic and educated in a Christian school, she began to explore her spirituality more deeply, particularly during difficult times.
Realizing that knowing Jesus is different from truly encountering Him was pivotal for Olviga. She credits her renewed commitment to faith as a source of strength and inspiration.
May pinagdaanan ako noon kung saan sobrang down ko talaga. Pero Siya lang ang tumulong sa ‘kin. Since then, my love for Him and my relationship with Him have deepened.

Sobrang pressure dati kapag kailangan kong magsalita. Kapag may nag-aabot sa ‘kin ng mic during interviews, lumalayo ako at ‘di ko talaga kinukuha.
