Turkish girl group Manifest is preparing for their debut performance at an arena in London, hoping it will launch their global career. The group released their first English-speaking single, "Tralala," with a music video filmed in London just days before. Formed on the Turkish talent show Big5 in 2025 after individual auditions, they won by expanding from five to six members as decided by the judges. During the competition, the members often used the word "manifest" to encourage themselves, leading them to choose it as their band name. Group member Yelekci acknowledges facing numerous obstacles and emphasizes trusting the process moving forward, while Uluca describes the group's diversity as a blend of unique individual contributions. They aspire for audiences worldwide to sing along in Turkish, similar to how Spanish artist Rosalía has influenced non-Spanish speakers.
