This success marks an incredible feat for a newcomer, solidifying Jan Francis's position as a rising star in the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) landscape.

Released on Jan. 24, "You Are The One" immediately generated buzz and excitement. This vibrant track, a collaboration with Thai pop sensation Yayee, is more than just a song; it's a powerful anthem for dreamers everywhere.
