Eli-Mac Reframes Diane Warren’s “I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me” With An Island-Rooted Reggae Interpretation

“I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me” is the latest single from Songs in the Key of Diane: A Reggae Compilation of Diane Warren Songs, the forthcoming 13-track collection pairing the songwriting of Diane Warren with worldwide leading Reggae and Pacific Island artists.  

Available July 31, 2026, Songs in the Key of Diane is a project reimagining Diane Warren’s melodies and lyrics through Reggae and island music. The compilation also brings renewed focus to deeper cuts and hidden gems from Warren’s catalog, some previously unreleased, others newly rediscovered and reframed.

Originally recorded and released by Exposé in 1993, “I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me” peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in mid-1993 and spent a week atop the Adult Contemporary chart that year.  Now, the song is reimagined by Filipino-American Reggae singer-songwriter Eli-Mac who brings an island-rooted interpretation.

Warren says:

I’m loving this new reggae version of ‘I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me’ by Eli-Mac. It makes you happy even if you’re sad.

Eli-Mac says about working with Warren:

She’s a badass—she’s the songwriter of our time! So many hits! I have so many memories from so many different times in my life from all her songs. The world would’ve been a different place without her. I’m forever a fan of her writing and of her. She’s a legend in my book!

Born in the Philippines and raised in Hawaii, Eli-Mac (aka Ciara-Camile Roque Velasco) has built a career blending Roots Reggae, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Island influences into a sound entirely her own. She first rose to national prominence as a Top 10 finalist on American Idol before launching a successful solo career.

A proud Filipino artist who grew up in Hawaii, Eli-Mac has spent years incorporating her upbringing and cultural influences into her music while forging her own path as an independent artist.

Since the release of her breakthrough Dubstop EP, she has toured across the United States and internationally, sharing stages with artists including Gwen Stefani, Lauryn Hill, Shaggy, Stephen Marley, SOJA, Collie Buddz, J Boog, Common Kings, Sublime, and Iration.

Eli-Mac shares:

I am proud to incorporate my upbringing in Hawaii into my music. That culture remains important to me.
