The team of Moro singer Shaira announced on Tuesday, March 19, that they had removed the viral song "Selos" (jealousy) from streaming sites after Australian singer-songwriter Lenka brought it to their attention and took action.

The AHS Channel, which produced the song of Shaira, dubbed Queen of Bangsamoro Pop, also apologized to all those who enjoyed the song launched in December 2023. 

Netizens called out the attention of Shaira, claiming that the melody of "Selos" was taken from Lenka's song "Trouble Is A Friend." 

Lenka said her team will take actions against the song "Selos." The AHS said it is now contacting Lenka's team to make "Selos" an official cover.

While "Selos" has been removed from streaming sites, the music video is still up on YouTube. As of March 20, Shaira's bouncy music video has been viewed more than 9 million times. 

A YouTube disclaimer wrote: "The content presented here is a work of parody and should be viewed as such. This work is intended for entertainment purposes only and is not associated with the original creators or any entities affiliated with the original work."

The official statement from AHS:

"Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

"On behalf of our artist, Shaira, AHS Productions would like to convey our heartfelt apologies to all those who have enjoyed listening to the song “Selos” as it is now unavailable in all online streaming platforms.

"This is a voluntary act on our end as we are still making arrangements with regards to the legality of the publication of the song. We have chosen to take it down from all platforms pending our agreement with the original artist’s management on securing a cover license for “Selos”.

"As most of you may know, the melody that we have used is originally from a song entitled “Trouble is a Friend” by Lenka and as of the moment, we are already in contact with her team for us to make “Selos” an official cover.

"To those who have been entertained by Shaira’s cover song, we are truly grateful to you for opening your hearts to a song that we once only made public for the sake of entertainment. We certainly did not expect that it will become this big to a point where Shaira will be known as the “Queen of Bangsamoro Pop”. We could not be prouder.

"We hope that when time comes and we will be re-uploading the song, you will show her the same love and acceptance.

"Again, thank you very much and we are hoping for your understanding.

"Peace and good vibes to all!"
