Breakout girl group BINI is making their mark in the P-pop world as its debut album “Born to Win” peaked at number one on iTunes Philippines’ Top Albums Chart and scored multiple trending topics on social media following its release last Oct. 16.
“Born to Win,” which celebrates love, positivity, and empowerment, dominated iTunes Philippines with 12 of its tracks making the list of the top 15 songs, and also charted in Hong Kong and Thailand. BINI’s music videos for its upbeat sophomore single “Kapit Lang” and debut single “Born to Win” also rose to the number one and two spots, respectively, in the iTunes Top Music Videos category.
Fans also generated buzz on Twitter Philippines with multiple topics making the trending list, such as #BINIdebutAlbum, BINI GoldenArrowMV Out Now, BINI BornToWin DebutAlbum, #D-DAY BINI THE ALBUM, BINI member “Mikha,” and the album’s original songs “B HU U R,” “Here With You,” and “Na Na Na.”
The release of BINI’s debut album coincided with the launch of the music video for their catchy dance tune and third single “Golden Arrow,” which is featured in Spotify Philippines’ New Music Friday playlist and Apple Music’s New Music Daily and Absolute OPM playlists.
In the playful, retro-inspired music video, the girls preach about self-confidence and conquering challenges as they transform their slumber party into a discotheque. Currently, the video already has more than 176,000 views on YouTube.
On the debut album, the girls evoke the disco era in the danceable track “B HU U R” featuring rapper Kritiko, become restless about catching feelings in the sugary “Na Na Na,” get listeners grooving in the funky bop “Kinikilig,” pay tribute to their friendship in “8,” and sing about the transformative power of finding love from BLOOM, their official fandom, in “Here With You.” The Bahasa, Japanese, Thai, and Spanish versions of “Born to Win” are also available for international fans to enjoy.
