Elisse Joson channels a mature and alluring persona in her freshly released single under Star POP titled “Halika Na.”

The magnetic track is the actress-singer’s first solo single under the ABS-CBN label. It delves into a dark kind of unrequited love story wherein a bold woman intentionally attracts a man to be with her whom she believes is unhappy in his current relationship.

“Halika Na” was written by Fia Castro and Mary Grace Negapatan, arranged, mixed and mastered by Michael “Cursebox” Negapatan, and produced by Star POP head Rox Santos.

Elisse previously released an album under Star POP with her former on-and-off screen partner McCoy de Leon in 2017 dubbed as “McLisse.” It was comprised of covers featuring the songs “Opposites Attract,” “Chinito,” “Para Lang Sa’yo,” “Yakap,” and “If We Fall In Love.”

In 2019, McLisse also released a cover of Moira Dela Torre’s “Tagu-taguan” for their romantic-comedy film “Sakaling Maging Tayo.”

Elisse rose to fame when she joined “Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky Season 7” in 2016. Afterwards, she went on to have roles in Kapamilya teleseryes “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “The Good Son,” “Ngayon at Kailanman,” and more recently, “Sandugo.” She also played one of the leads in iWant’s “Ampalaya Chronicles.”

Be daring with Elisse and listen to her single “Halika Na,” out now on various digital streaming platforms. For more details, follow StarPOP PH on Facebook, and on Instagram (@starpopph). For updates, follow @abscbnpr on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram or visit www.abs-cbn.com/newsroom.
