LIRAH’s “ Bakit Hindi” is available in all digital music stores starting May 8. “ Bakit Hindi” was produced and arranged by Samuel Mopal of Sandiwa. The track was composed by Lester Vano, who also composed the viral hit “ Nadarang” (2017), sung by rapper Shanti Dope. “ Bakit Hindi” tells the story of a girl who is uncertain about the feelings her male friend has for her, and she begins to question her own feelings. The song has been featured in several playlists including Apple Music’s Absolute OPM. “ Sahod” was followed by a collaboration with Ex Battalion’s Bosx1ne and Flow G titled “ Mahal Mo Rin Ba Ako?” this year. Her debut single “ Sahod” earned her a Best New Artist nomination from Wave 89.1’s Year-End Awards 2019. It was the theme song for the Cinemalaya film entry of the same name, directed by Luisito Ignacio. She also collaborated with rap singer Gloc-9 on the song “ Asintado,” in 2014. Lirah Bermudez, who goes by the stage name LIRAH, got her start in the industry at the tender age of 13 when she was named runner-up in GMA’s reality singing contest Protégé in 2011. Written during the ongoing COVID-19 quarantine, the song’s official music video, directed and edited by Sean Daniel Pollisco, was shot purely on mobile phone by Pollisco and Andreah Bermudez. The song is about facing one’s budding romantic feelings for a friend. FILIPINO hip-hop singer LIRAH has released her newest single, “ Bakit Hindi,” today.
