For Mother’s Day, music icon Zsa Zsa Padilla offers something truly heartfelt—a tender new song titled Never Be Alone featuring Zia Quizon on background vocals. Written by Jeremy G and produced by Jonathan Manalo for ABS-CBN Music – Star Music, the song captures the quiet ache and unwavering love that define the bond between a mother and child, especially as time and distance set in.
Zsa Zsa is no stranger to this stage in life. Her eldest daughter Karylle has been married for over ten years, while Zia started her own new chapter in 2022 when she got married. Now living a more peaceful empty nester’s life with her longtime partner Conrad Onglao, Zsa Zsa brings to this song not just her voice, but the full weight of a mother’s experience: pride, longing, and love that never fades.

Now out on your favorite music platforms, Never Be Alone tells the story of a mother who continues to carry her child in her heart—through sleepless nights, silent spaces, and cherished memories. “Araw-araw, laman ng isip ay ikaw at ikaw,” she sings, holding on to the thought of her child with every passing day. Even when calls become less frequent and visits more rare, her love stays rooted: “Kahit di na madalas, ‘pag narinig ko ang boses mo, parang di ka lumayo.”
The song’s chorus pulls especially hard at the heart:
“Oh, I’ve been hiding tears, trying to face my fears.
I’m struggling to like the changes in my life.
When you’ve been by my side the whole time.”
It’s the voice of a mother adjusting to her new normal—quiet halls, empty chairs at the dinner table—and doing her best to let go, without letting love go.
But Never Be Alone is also a reassurance. Zia’s harmonies respond with quiet strength, bridging the space between mother and daughter. “Time will always heal,” she sings, “and I will—I’ll always be there for you.” It’s a reminder that love doesn’t disappear with distance—it grows deeper, stronger, more resilient.
Arranged by Tommy Katigbak, with vocal direction by Jonathan Manalo and mixing and mastering by Dante Tanedo, the song is stripped down but emotionally full. It doesn’t try to overwhelm. Instead, it speaks softly, like a mother’s voice at the end of a long day—familiar, comforting, and steady.
It’s a quiet embrace for every mother missing her children, and for every child carrying their mother’s voice in their heart. It reminds us that even when life moves forward and families grow apart in distance, love stays behind like a light in the window—waiting, unwavering, and always near.
