Lola Amour issued an apology after receiving criticism for romanticizing poverty and resiliency in the teaser of their “Raining in Manila” music video. The indie-rock band released the teaser on October 24, which shows the band members singing in a flooded residential area.

Netizens called out the group for being insensitive to those suffering from such circumstances. Lola Amour immediately addressed the negative reactions and apologized for not being sensitive enough about how the teaser was presented. The band hopes that people will still give the music video a chance, as it was greatly misrepresented by the teaser.

The music video is actually about a man reconnecting with his long-lost wife through a magic gecko, all set in an alternate timeline where it has been raining for already 1427 days.
