Lola Amour was formed in Muntinlupa from two rival bands, "Sinigang Na Baboy" (Pio Dumayas on vocals, Renzo Santos on drums, Joxx Perez on bass, Mico Fernandez on guitar)[3] and "Decaf" (Raymond King on bass, Zoe Gonzalez on guitar, Martin Kim on vocals and Angelo Mesina on drums),[4] comprising students from the De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ).

[6] Soon after performing at the Wanderland Music and Arts Festival,[5] Lola Amour released their first EP titled Don't Look Back, which consisted of four songs: "Fools", "Maybe Maybe", "No Tomorrow" and "Piece of Mind".

Keyboardist Martin Kim returned to the Philippines after his mandatory military service in South Korea to reunite with the band and released a Korean version of "Pwede Ba", which features an acoustic arrangement.

Due to the album being shelved, the band decided to rerecord their first EP, which resulted in Don't Look Back - Revisited, released on November 12.

According to the band, “revisiting our old songs meant we couldn’t change the lyrics but it did leave us with a challenge: that is to find ways to create meaning through context.

These songs were written back when we were teenagers and over the past few years, we’ve learned so much and grown into so much more than what we were then – both as artists and as people.” Musically, the album is stripped-down and more subdued from the original, with new track "Please Don't Leave", a piano-strewn ballad.

[10] In early 2021, the band released "Fallen", a song about contemplating on expressing bottled up emotions for someone, knowing that an attempt would only bring turbulence in the friendship.

The band celebrated the launch by an online show, joined by sessionists/future members David Yuhico, Raffy Perez, and Jeff Abueg.

[11][12][13] Later that year, they collaborated with singer-songwriter Clara Benin on the single "Closer than Before", a song about "loving, losing, and then taking a chance to reconnect".

On September 14, the band released an EP titled The Lunchtime Special, which is a compilation of their three previous collaborations with other artists and their respective live versions from Looking Back.

On October 12, the band released "dahan-dahan" (Very Slowly), a love song that "tells the story of two people who have fallen in and out of love so many times that it starts to feel like an elaborate dance — familiar yet new each time — making listeners think of whether they should go along with fate or against it".The song features a guitar solo played by Pio having a duet with King's bass, which is reportedly made to symbolize two figures dancing together.

Lola Amour's self-titled debut studio album was initially scheduled for a 2023 release, but the band postponed it upon realizing the success of "Raining in Manila".

King's last appearance with the group was at the Album Launch Concert at Circuit Grounds, Makati on April 13, which had former members Kim and Joxx as guests.

Fellow indie Filipino bands Any Name's Okay and Cup of Joe kicked off the show, with hip-hop duo Playertwo performing at the aftershow.
