Classic Filipino love song, “Isang Linggong Pag-ibig” by jukebox singer Imelda Papin, has resurfaced on Twitter, trending alongside BTS member Jungkook‘s latest solo release, “Seven.”
The sentimental ballad became a topic of conversation as fans drew connections between the two songs, finding resonance in their exploration of love and devotion.
As BTS’ Jungkook dropped his highly anticipated solo track “Seven,” which delves into the concept of loving someone ‘seven times a week,’ fans were quick to make a witty and nostalgic connection to “Isang Linggong Pag-ibig,” sparking renewed interest in the OPM classic.
The latest single from the 25-year-old K-pop showcases a collaboration with Latto, the Grammy-nominated rapper known for her hit song “Big Energy,” which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Seven” is sung entirely in English and revolves around the theme of wholeheartedly loving someone “seven days a week.” The lyrics convey a message of unwavering commitment and affection.
In the accompanying music video, Jungkook portrays a determined protagonist who persistently pursues his romantic interest, played by Han So-hee, the popular actress known for her role in the drama series The World of the Married. Despite their constant disagreements and the apparent indifference shown by his partner, the protagonist refuses to give up on their love.
Meanwhile, “Isang Linggong Pag-ibig,” which translates to “One Week of Love” in English, has long held a special place in the hearts of Filipino music enthusiasts. It was released in 1979 and swiftly became one of Papin’s iconic chart-toppers, cementing her position as one of the most celebrated voices in the Philippine music scene.
