Singapore alt-pop artist LAYYI links up with Filipino Pop Girl with a purpose, Dia Maté on “Sour Grape,” a sassy, bite-back anthem for anyone who’s ever watched an ex go on a reputation tour. It’s the sound of turning bitterness into comedy — and reclaiming the narrative with a smirk.
On “Sour Grape,” the girls don’t beg, don’t explain, and definitely don’t chase. Instead, they clock the nonsense: the half-truths, the dramatic retellings, the “poor me” stories that somehow always paint you as the villain. With sharp lines, playful swagger, and a hook built for sing-alongs (and subtweets), LAYYI and Dia Maté deliver a charismatic, female-forward track that says: if you’re going to talk about me, at least make it interesting.

Driven by punchy pop production and attitude-first delivery, “Sour Grape” balances humor with edge — never heavy, always in control. The energy is confident and unapologetic: not heartbreak, but a glow-up. Not revenge, but power. The kind you get when you stop arguing with someone’s version of events and start living louder than their lies.

With this cross-border collaboration, LAYYI continues her streak of bold, story-led releases while Dia Maté brings a distinctly Filipino spark — making “Sour Grape” feel right at home for PH listeners who love their pop sharp, stylish, and a little bit savage.
