ONE SPARK – TWICE

TWICE giving us a fun, upbeat, and wholesome love song, just how we like it.

SATURN – SZA

SZA turns to the stars for another bop on longing about thinking that life would be better on another planet then here. Same tbh.

LOVE ON – SELENA GOMEZ

That beat though. Selena makes it known that she can give a fun time once she turns her love one. 

SABIK – ILLEST MORENA

The beat alone is worth the play, but the lyrics and attitude is what completes this sexy and sensual tune. 

RUN BACK TO YOU – LAY AND LAUV

A collaboration we didn’t know we needed until know, these two artists sing about the relatable scenario of going back to your ex and make the same mistakes.

ECHOES – VALKYRAE, FUSLIE, AND YLONA GARCIA

Charlie’s Angels who? We only know Valkyrae, Fuslie, and Ylona.

LIHIM – MRLD

Add this to your “secret crush” playlist. It’s a whole mood and a half on those moments where you just can’t admit your feelings to your crush. 

SHOPPER – IU

Leave it to IU to give us an anthem on shopping and enjoying the life you’ve got. 

TAHAN NA – DWTA AND ARTHUR MIGUEL

Capturing the universal experience of longing for love and connection, the song expresses the realities of harboring unrequited feelings for someone not capable of reciprocating the same level of affection.

HOODIE – DIONELA AND ALISSON SHORE

Like wearing the hoodie of your special someone, this song captures the warmth, intimacy, and simple beauty found in everyday moments that can transform the ordinary into something extra special. 

1 MINUTE – YUGYEOM

YUGYEOM is right. You’re just gonna need one minute to like this song. 

AOLID – RAVEN, KVRT, AND NICHIMI

This cut his Kinulayan album, a free-spirited record that conveys happiness and radiates with positive emotions and expressions, is all about lifting spirits and rising against the odds. 

STARVING – AUDREY NUNA AND TEEZO TOUCHDOWN

This dynamic duo brings together breezy and effortless vocals with the confident bar delivery. 

CLOSER I GET – FERN.

Through lo-fi, pop, and R&B, the track explores how finding out more about a person makes you fall in love with them more and the closer you get to them the harder it is to let go. 

I’LL BE MINE – FLU AND NUMCHA

A one-sided relationship is one of the reddest red flags, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world if you find yourself in one. Just take it from this song, which is a reminder that deciding to leave a taxing relationship is the first step to the path of embracing self-worth. 

GETAWAY – PREP AND PHUM VIPHURIT 

Will you or you won’t. That’s the premise of this bop about the conflicting feelings of needing a break from a situation, but knowing you don’t want to leave it behind forever.

DRAMA – BRISCOM AND ICA FRIAS

90s pop-rock takes center stage in this grunge-meets-bubblegum-pop number.
