GRAMMY® considered artist, advocate and producer Thomas Orlina has released his seventh studio single, “Everything Is Meant To Be.”
The new project which includes the original version, “Everything Is Meant To Be”, “Everything Is Meant To Be – All Night Club Remix”, “Everything Is Meant To Be – All Night Club Extended Remix” and the official music video has dropped this week.
This new era is sure to get listeners moving and DJs playing it in clubs worldwide.
Orlina’s vision for this project was to pay homage to his roots as the cover art consists of 4 identifying colors on the Philippines flag, the country his family is from.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, he chose this color palette to raise awareness for his community in hopes of bringing in more Filipino-American artists to the forefront in mainstream music in the United States.
“Growing up, I loved watching all of the pop stars perform. Many of my references in the last several years have been from Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. I knew I always wanted to be in the electronic dance pop music space but noticed that there weren’t many Filipino artists in this genre. To be able to create music as a proud Filipino-American entertainer, perform live on stage around the country and add my twist to the genre is a full circle moment.” Thomas says.
For the original version of the song, Orlina tapped Recording Academy member, Lancen Gm, GRAMMY U member, Yungchriisbeats and his main producing partners MELT Music to create this upbeat electronic dance pop track.
On the songwriting front, Thomas co-wrote the song with his long-time creative director, Kyle Thompson of KT Dance Productions and songwriter, Isabelle Pouya.
The “Everything Is Meant To Be – All Night Club Remix” and “Everything Is Meant To Be – All Night Club Extended Remix” is also available now and was produced by GRAMMY® winner, Robert Eibach.
“For the remix and extended remix, the creative team wanted to tap someone we collectively felt was going to put together the best sound and take the original version to new heights. Having multiple remix versions for the first time on my discography of songs feels super fresh and marks a new part of my music career. I hope everyone who streams them loves the beats and shares that same excitement.” Orlina says.
When it came to the music video, Orlina had a clear vision to use the signature colors of the Filipino flag and embed them in the visual which includes his many unique fashion changes with his dancers Anna and Maggie Fox of The Fox Twins.

“The exciting part for me is when we take the music to the cameras. I had this vision early on to be on set for a photoshoot and turn that space into the entire visual. When it came down to the color choices, it made crystal clear sense to use the colors we used for the artwork cover to represent the Filipino side of me and tie in brand new choreography I put together with my choreographer.” Thomas says.
This was Orlina’s first time to step into the choreographer role where he developed the moves with his creative director and choreographer, Kyle Thompson. The K-POP and P-POP inspired choreography is sure to get the fans on TikTok and social media moving.
“Everything Is Meant To Be – All Night Club Remix” was submitted to the GRAMMYs® for consideration.
Voting for members begins on October 3rd and the award ceremony takes place on Sunday, February 1, 2026 in Los Angeles.
