Whilst being enthralled with how Jeroy managed to formulate a song saying, "Wala eh, nakatambay lang kami sa terrace ni Emyl tapos bigla nalang siyang lumabas." Referring to the song he wrote, Jeroy also stated that, "Para sa mga taong galit-galitan sa simula pero mang iiwan rin pala," interpreting that it was all about people in a relationship who are pretentious of being mad from the start, showing that they pretentiously care but ends up leaving their partner in the end.

Raven himself explains that he wrote this song around the time when he had fallen for his crush (now girlfriend), and how he would always daydream about being in "serye"-esque scenes with her, not at all thinking that what the scenarios he imagined would one day come true with him actually being able to say "mahal kita" to her.About the Artist:raven is a 22-year old singer-songwriter and producer hailing from Cavite.

This adjective is often used to describe women who are constant, faithful, moral, steadfast, and unchanging. Accompanied by mentions of dreamy settings, it talks about how despite things in life being constantly fickle and unsure, she is the opposite. She loves unconditionally and fully. As long as she's there, worries and exhaustion go away. Let the guitars and woodwinds make you feel comfortable to float as freely as you would with someone who always makes sure to pull you back to the ground with love. About the Artist: Munimuni is a band that speaks about the realities of life—troubles, failures, and heartbreaks included—and of an enduring hope for the future. The four-piece folk pop band is composed of Adj Jiao (guitar, vocals), John Owen Castro (flute, vocals), Jolo Ferrer (bass), and Josh Tumaliuan (drums), with their songs collectively resonating with FIlipinos in their everyday. less

According to the band, “Kalituhan” is a song about loving someone no matter what. Vocalist and songwriter Eunice Jorge was able to write “Kalituhan” easily after thinking of a maze as a core concept.E recalls, “It was a rainy night and I was lying down with a guitar on my bed and the music and words just came out simultaneously. The idea started from the concept of maze. I was just playing with metaphors and contrasts. And the song was made. Finished the demo thru GarageBand June 2019.”“The tempo was originally a bit faster than the final version. But during the pre-production process with my band, we’ve decided to make it slower to catch the right vibe for the song,” she adds.Eventually, the band along with Monty recorded... less

Rangel opens her heart to the warmth of love with her latest single “DIKA”. While love is a topic all too familiar, the singer-songwriter focuses on the brighter side of being in a loving relationship through lyrics that are sure to bring a smile to your face. As the chorus goes, “oras ng kalungkutan / ‘di ka bibitawan / hahawakan ang iyong mga kamay”.
“As a pessimist, it's easy to look at these words as an illusion, kasi di ba may “walang forever” na notion nonstop,” Rangel shares. “But it's just unfair to those who are really down for the long run. So i thought it'll be nice to look at the bright side sometimes and come from a hope for the best/ill always be there for you point of view, ‘cause who knows? Maybe it’ll work out,” she adds.
Love songs in the Philippines are abundant, but Rangel’s optimistic and bubbly perspective on love focuses on hoping for the best, which comes as a reassuring and sobering truth without being too... less

Jireh Lim has proven again and again that he belongs to the esteemed latter, and he’s definitely not taking a step back to admire the scenery, as he is working even harder to come up with hit tunes like his latest single “Gumamela,” which is arguably his finest work to date. Riddled with a bouncy pop / RnB styling, a slick and well-calculated sonic production and catchy-as-hell melodies, “Gumamela” definitely sounds like a natural and seamless evolution of Jireh, who cut his teeth and honed his talents more than a decade ago, armed with a handful of cover songs with just an acoustic guitar and a smooth and... less

It's been a memorable 2022 for Paolo Sandejas. After releasing a couple of singles earlier this year, he had a notable career milestone after V of BTS recognized and included his song “Sorry” on his road trip playlist. He also had his first-ever solo mall show, numerous interviews, media appearances, features, and gigs. Paolo even opened for British duo Oh Wonder during their Karpos Live concert last month and joined the ranks of Sarah Geronimo and Zack Tabudlo as performers at the iPhone 14 Midnight Launch earlier this month.
And since he’s a natural singer-songwriter, he’s slated to drop another single for his fans to enjoy and venture forth towards new heights. Paolo’s latest offering is called “Liquid Courage”, a feel-good song that describes that feeling of unease when you’re contemplating if you’re going to go all in and make the first move because you’ll surely regret it if you don’t. Would you want to lose that special person... less

OPM listeners will surely have a refreshing listening experience as I Belong To The Zoo puts on a new flavor to “Hands To Heaven”, a song originally performed by English new wave band Breathe during the 80’s and eventually became popular in the Philippine airwaves during the early-mid 2000s.

Leading to the release of the song, the band shared cryptic teasers on social media with a hashtag #XBXX.

These four boys have been performing for years now before their official debut.

Generally, a process is determined by what musical idea pops into your mind first. If you find that you've been developing lyric ideas, you'll likely start by filling in as much of that lyric as you can, and then develop chords and melody to support that lyric. That's your process for lyrics-first songs.
