Bangsamoro pop artist Shaira has announced the return of her viral hit "Selos" on streaming after calm and peaceful discussions with the team of Australian singer Lenka.

"Gusto ko po lamang ipaalam na wala pong kasong isinampa sa amin. Sa katunayan, naging mahinahon at mapayapa ang paguusap namin ng kampo ni Lenka at nauwi po ito sa pagkakaroon ng kasunduan hingil sa muling pagpapalabas ng kanta sa mga online streaming platform," said Shaira on Facebook.

(I just want to let you know that no case has been filed against us. In fact, Lenka's camp and I had a calm and peaceful conversation, which ended in an agreement regarding the song's re-release on online streaming platforms.)

Shaira also revealed that, in addition to her song "Selos," her other songs will return to streaming platforms.

"Noong inilabas po namin ito (Selos), hindi namin inaasahan na papatok ito lalong lalo na sa mga taga Luzon at Visayas.

 

 

"Naisip ko, sino ba naman ako na isang Bangsamoro na nais lamang ilabas ang kanyang hilig sa musika.

"Pero hindi naman maiiwasan na magkaroon ng problema dahil hango lamang sa ibang kanta ang melodiya na ginamit sa aking awitin.

"Kung minsan nasasaktan ako sa mga nababasa ko sa comments sa Facebook kung saan nararamdaman ko na hinihila ako pababa imbes na maramdaman ko ang kanilang suporta.

"May mga nagsasabing baka hindi na ako makabangon dahil sa kasong sinampa ni Lenka laban sa akin. Sa tulad kong baguhan sa industriya, naging leksyon sa akin ang pangyayari.

"Gayunpaman mas pinili na lang namin manahimik dahil ayaw na namin humaba pa ang issue at maging sanhi pa ng hindi pagkakaunawaan ng bawat isa," said Shaira. Watch her full announcement:

 

 

On March 19, the team of Moro singer Shaira announced 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 would take action against the song "Selos." The AHS also contacted Lenka's team to make "Selos" an official cover. But all is well now that Shaira has announced the return of "Selos" on streaming platforms.
