In just a few days, Faye Webster is officially holding her Manila debut show.
Happening this July 21, 2025 (Monday) at the Filinvest Tent in Muntinlupa City, the American singer-songwriter’s first time in Manila has been highly anticipated, especially with the release of her fifth studio album, Underdressed at the Symphony. As she is finally set to bring her deeply emotive and introspective music to our shores, now is the perfect time to get ready to sing (and cry) your hearts out in unison.
With this, Billboard Philippines has curated eight tracks from Faye Webster to help you get ready for one emotional evening with the critically acclaimed hitmaker.
“But Not Kiss”
To kick things off, why not start with a fan favorite from Underdressed at the Symphony?
“But Not Kiss” is a bittersweet and reflective track written by Webster about a past unhealthy relationship. As sonically dynamic as it is lyrically candid, it sees her exploring feelings of still wanting to be with her former lover while also holding hesitation against actually doing so.
“Right Side Of My Neck”
Released in 2019, “Right Side of My Neck” is the second track of Webster’s third studio album, Atlanta Millionaires Club. Expressing thoughts and emotions of longing, it sees the perspective of someone in a recently established relationship as they deeply yearn for their significant other, fueled most especially by their lover’s distinct lingering scent.
“Better Distractions”
Serving as the opening track to Webster’s fourth full-length record I Know I’m Funny haha, “Better Distractions” is song tackling unrequited love with a somewhat relatable twist. Here, Webster explores feelings of boredom due to the cyclical sameness of life and not having “better distractions,” which inevitably leads her to thinking about a person who doesn’t reciprocate her feelings.
“Jonny”
Poignantly reflective, “Jonny” serves as the fifth track from Atlanta Millionaires Club. Here, the listener sees Webster pondering about love and life, which, particularly, leads her to unwittingly look back on a past relationship as she throws question after question to the void.
“A Dream With a Baseball Player”
Falling in love with someone you don’t even know and vice versa? In more ways than one, this is a feeling that many share, especially with celebrity crushes. This is exactly what Faye Webster candidly captures in “A Dream With a Baseball Player” — a song from I Know I’m Funny haha, which, she later reveals in an interview, is about the Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.
“Feeling Good Today”
Notable for Webster using a vocoder, “Feeling Good Today” is the fifth track from Underdressed at the Symphony. Exploring co-related themes of contentment and joy, the song is an expression happiness in the mundane things and simple wins of everyday life.
“In A Good Way”
Feeling positively overwhelmed by love is a gift that comes with every wonderful relationship. This is exactly what Webster captures in “In A Good Way,” which serves as the fourth track from I Know I’m Funny haha. Here, she finds herself experiencing pure bliss thanks to her significant other, to the point that she finds herself wanting to cry “in a good way.”
“Kingston”
Capping of this list is what is, undeniably, Faye Webster’s biggest song ever. Serving as the sixth track from Atlanta Millionaires Club, “Kingston” explores the various thoughts and emotions that come from finding a special someone, as one falls for them deeper and deeper in a whirlwind of excitement and dedication.
