Lauv, who was just recently in Manila for a concert and even pulled off a surprise session at a Jollibee pit stop, adds, “‘Crush’ is about that feeling when you’re into someone but don’t wanna cross the line ’cause it’s so fun just being slightly into them. Love singing with [Bella] and so happy ‘Crush’ is finally out!”
