Binibini
Binibini is a song by Filipino singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo from his debut album Episode (2021). It was released for streaming on March 26, 2021, via Island Records Philippines and UMG Philippines. The track runs 3:41 and was written and produced by Tabudlo. The Tagalog lyrics compare love to a dance and describe feelings and first times, capturing the whole romance cycle.
Musically, Binibini blends pop, soft rock and R&B with a kundiman vibe; the bridge adds 1990s alternative-rock guitar effects, giving a modern singer-songwriter feel.
The song was a hit. It topped Spotify Philippines Top 50 for six weeks—the longest run by a Filipino RADAR artist—and led Global Viral for four weeks. It accumulated about 18.3 million Spotify streams and appeared on Spotify Viral charts in Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It ended 2021 as Spotify Wrapped’s Most Streamed Song in the Philippines. Rolling Stone named it among “10 Songs From International Hitmakers You Should Have on Your Radar.”
A music video directed by Dan Villegas premiered on April 12, 2021, featuring Seth Fedelin and Andrea Brillantes as a couple on the verge of breaking up, reliving key moments including dancing in the rain. Tabudlo performs in the rain throughout the video, which topped YouTube Trending for weeks and has millions of views (45 million as of March 21, 2024).
In April 2021, James TW released a cover of Binibini on TikTok, which led to a collaboration. A new English-language remix, “Binibini (Last Day on Earth)” with James TW, featuring rewritten English lyrics, was released June 11, 2021.
