In a serendipitous cosmic alignment of music and celestial wonders, P-pop boy group BGYO released their latest special single, “Bulalakaw,” on Nov. 24, the very night when the NASA Hubble Space Telescope unveiled a breathtaking view of the Orion Nebula.
Besides covering the chorus of NSYNC’s “Better Place” for the “Trolls Band Together” movie just this month, Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate marked their official return to the music scene with this electronic ballad.
Following their 2022 sophomore album “Be Us,” the said single was penned by Kiko Salazar and brought to life under the production of Jonathan Manalo.
Within the first 24 hours of its release, the song, which weaves a narrative of longing and encapsulates the sentiment of wishing loved ones would remain close to the heart, soared to the top spot on iTunes charts in multiple countries.
Shared by Star Music on X, the song peaked at No. 1 in the Philippines, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, No. 4 in Hong Kong, and No. 107 in Thailand’s Pop Songs Chart.
