Background and release

[edit]

Bini is a Filipino girl group from the Philippines, composed of eight members: Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena. The group debuted after three years of training under Star Hunt Academy (SHA).[1] On September 28, 2021, the group announced the schedules and the release of their album Born to Win.[2] On October 22, 2024, Born to Win had reached 100 million streams on Spotify.[3]

Following the successful of the album, Bini released a sophomore album on September 29, 2022.[4]

"Lagi" was later included in the soundtrack for the 2022 romantic comedy film An Inconvenient Love,[5] as well as the 2024 romantic comedy series What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, the Philippine adaptation of the 2018 Korean series of the same name.[6] In August 2024, a remake of "Lagi" called "Rexona Lagi" was released for the roll-on deodorant brand Rexona, alongside a music video.[7]

Composition

[edit]

The album highlights themes of love, including falling in love, maintaining relationships and overcoming challenges, presented through five original songs and two bonus tracks. Its key track, "Strings" was co-written by the girl group alongside music director Jonathan Manalo and songwriter Robert Perema.[8] Its dark and serious tone marked a venture beyond the group's bubblegum pop repertoire.[9]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Following its release on September 29, Feel Good topped several iTunes charts, such as New Music Daily, Future Hits, and Absolute OPM, with all of its tracks within the Top 15 on iTunes' Song chart. The album also featured on Spotify's New Music Friday Philippines and Radar PH playlists; it additionally secured the top position on the P-pop on The Rise playlist.[4]

Reception

[edit]

The album's component song, "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" (Let's Not Go Home Yet), gained recognition among listeners, particularly the LGBT community for being a love song whose lyrics transcend gender boundaries, and was incorporated into the soundtrack of the 2022 romantic comedy film An Inconvenient Love.[10]
