As the world continues to face the threat of coronavirus pandemic, Kim Chiu, who turned a year older yesterday, offers a new single under Star POP aptly titled “’Wag Kang Bumitaw.”
According to the screen star, the song is dedicated to those who have been feeling weary and disheartened.
“We made this song months ago and during that time I was very reluctant to launch it, so the song was pushed back,” she recalled.
Kim detailed how a text message she received on Good Friday from a friend who was on the verge of giving up caused her to remember the song.
“I told myself, ‘I think I have a song that’s about not giving up.’ So I listened to it then I called my producer Rox Santos and told him that this is the perfect time to release the song,” she shared.
“‘Wag Kang Bumitaw” is a far cry from Kim’s usual releases, which tackle love and friendships, as it reminds listeners to carry on and have faith in God’s plan despite experiencing endless hurdles along the way.
The inspirational track is written by Jun Lirios, with music by Leah Negapatan. It was produced by Star POP head Rox Santos and arranged by Michael “Cursebox” Negapatan. Its release also coincided with Kim’s birthday yesterday, April 19.
“I hope this song can inspire people to not give up no matter how hard this time can be. These are tough times but when you have God with you, you know that it will soon come to pass. Just have faith and ‘‘Wag Kang Bumitaw,’” she said.
“‘Wag Kang Bumitaw” is now available for streaming on various digital platforms. For more details, like StarPOP PH on www.facebook.com/starpopph, and follow it on and Instagram (@starpopph).
