“Nariyan Ka Lang Pala” by Andi Abaya

A lady realizes that her male best friend will always be there for her and that even she finds someone, that man will always care and love her.  This unconditional pledge makes this musical piece as one of the most touching and romantic songs of the millennials of this generation.

“Tanging Hiling” by Andi Abaya

This song tells us that in loving someone, even when you can't be with that person, you still and will always wish the best for him or her, no matter what.

“Sabihin Ko Na Ba?”  by Bamboo B.

This song is about a young man who has no enough courage to tell his female best friend that he is in love with her.

“Huwag Muna Ngayon” by Jhassy Busran

A teenage girl falls in love with someone, but the the situation makes her feel weird and nervous to admit it to the guy.  She then realizes that she will prioritize her studies over love.

“Huli Ka” by Alvin Barcelona with Himaya Band

This song is about genuine friendship.  A person invites one of his close friends to be part of his journey in life.  In doing so, he is motivated to build up his dedication and hard work to reach out for his dreams.

“Ako Muna” by Alo Barcelona with Himaya Band

A song about a young professional guy whose mindset is loving himself first before anyone else.  He believes that a person must be happy first if he’s single or alone, so that he can be happy as soon as he falls for a relationship in the future.
