Do nice guys really finish last? Not according to YouTube sensation turned music artist Wengie who is back like we’ve never seen her before with her brand new K-Pop single “Mr. Nice Guy” featuring Pinoy pop superstarIñigo Pascual. The Rihanna-esque summer bop can be described as a fusion between eastern pop styles and western pop styles and of course, full of fun and colorful beats! This song and music video will inspire you to finally ditch the bad boys and go straight for Mr. Nice Guy, the kind that would never leave you hanging.

Pascual is known for being a VJ on the Philippines number one music channel, MYX, and one of the hosts of the online show “One Music POPSSSS.” His big hit “Dahil Sa’Yo” reached #1 on the Billboard Philippines charts for over three months and is also one of the most viewed OPM lyric videos on YouTube with 93 million views currently. In 2017, he released the Tagalog version of “Remember Me,” Disney movie “Coco’s” official theme song.

The music video will release two versions being in English and Taglish, blending English and Tagalog lyrics for an international release. The single release package will consist of five versions being in English, Tagalog, Taglish, instrumental, and a remix by international producer Shawn Wasabi.

Wengie: “In a culture where bad boys get a lot of attention, this song is refreshing about a girl finding her Mr. Nice Guy and not having to worry about being hurt and feeling safe. I loved working with Iñigo and he was perfect for this as I wanted to create something that was really me and one that I know the fans will resonate with and enjoy!”

Iñigo Pascual: “I’m grateful to do this project with Wengie, who is super talented being able to sing in Tagalog as well. It’s very special to me and I’m thankful they chose me to do it.”
