After her sad song swept across social media, female artist Alie Blackcobra has now presented a special gift to thank her fans by releasing "Empty-Handed Live Session." This special edition features the rising girl group BADI-Z from WANLOVE MUSIC, joining to deliver a powerful live vocal version that deeply resonates emotionally.
Looking back at the journey of the song “Empty-Handed (PUT THE GUN DOWN),” it is the 12th track from her first full album 'Angel Energy,' which has an intriguing success story. After the album’s release in October 2025, buzz started building and gained attention by December following a fiery mash-up performance with the hit song 'Want to Hold You Longer' by BLVCKHEART at the WHEE WHEED concert, instantly becoming a talk of the town online.
The momentum then surged uncontrollably, especially before Songkran in 2026, when Alie showcased her live singing skills on the TikTok karaoke show @theaunyo. That clip broke records with over 4.3 million views, turning the track into a viral record widely used by influencers for content creation. User-generated content on TikTok surpassed 1 million shares. Additionally, the song charted on streaming platforms Spotify and Apple Music with over 6 million combined streams, while YouTube's Art Track views soared past 15 million.
Beyond the song’s success, on 12 May, which coincided with her birthday, Alie released the full music video starring Kae from The Face Thailand Season 6, portraying emotional pain. This video officially concluded the Angel Energy era. At the end, she teased the upcoming new album to excite fans for what’s next. To perfectly close this chapter, the "Empty-Handed Live Session" version featuring BADI-Z delivers a story about accepting the truth of a relationship that can no longer continue and moving forward despite a broken heart. Their harmonious vocal chemistry ensures this version will become a favorite that listeners will replay repeatedly. Fans can now listen and watch this poignant performance on all streaming platforms.
