Thomas Orlina Steps Into a Bold New Era With “Best You’ve Ever Had”

Filipino-American recording artist, songwriter, and advocate Thomas Orlina is stepping confidently into his next chapter with “Best You’ve Ever Had,” a contemporary pop release built around attraction, self-assurance, and unapologetic energy.

Written by Henry Ingraham, the single finds Orlina embracing a playful side of his artistry. There’s an immediate sense of confidence behind the record, with its polished pop direction providing a natural backdrop for his charismatic performance. Rather than overcomplicating its message, “Best You’ve Ever Had” leans into the thrill and intensity of connection, resulting in a track designed to feel fun, accessible, and distinctly Orlina.

Produced by Christopher Espinoza, professionally known as YungChriisBeats, and engineered by GRAMMY-winning engineer Robert Eibach, the release represents another step forward in Orlina’s continued musical evolution.

That evolution is particularly important for an artist whose career has consistently been rooted in authenticity. Beyond music, Orlina has used his platform to advocate for mental health awareness, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, and AAPI representation, while encouraging greater visibility for underrepresented communities.

“Best You’ve Ever Had” allows him to bring that same commitment to self-expression into a lighter, more confident space. “This song represents a really exciting chapter for me as an artist,” Orlina shares. “I wanted to create something that feels confident, fun, and unapologetic.”

With “Best You’ve Ever Had,” Thomas Orlina isn't simply introducing another single. He’s showing listeners another side of himself and making it clear that reinvention and authenticity can exist in the same space.
