2020s OPM Songs that will Touch your Filipino Heart


 

Imagine, you are sitting in your chair while staring at a blank space for a couple of minutes. You feel like it's too quiet, so you grabbed your phone and scroll through your playlist. You've picked Ayaw kong Tumanda by Itchyworms and casually moved to the beat. You started tapping your feet to the floor and simultaneously nodding your head upside down. Later on, you've realized that the music you've been listening to have made your usual morning brighter.


Now, here's the thing. The scenario that you've pictured out awhile ago simply shows the power of music. It can change someone's mood in an instant or shift a gloomy ambiance to something lively. Undoubtedly, music gives us the relaxation that we need from this current situation. In short, music is a great healing for the brain.


Since music calms a raging heart and heals a broken soul, I'll be sharing with you some of this year's amazing OPM songs.


Filipinos are into music, specifically, love songs. That's why when Ben&Ben's Sa Susunod na Habang-buhay was released, it became a trend. It made a huge impact on the people and received positive feedback as well. The song speaks of a love that will still live even for the next lifetime. And this is the main reason why many got struck from the heart while listening to it.


SB19's newest song in their Get in the Zone album had reached the top in many song charts. Netizens find the song meaningful and worthy. HSH also made an animated music video that compliments the boys' vocals. Hanggang sa Huli mainly talks about love, family, friends, and tragedy.


One of the most talked-about songs this year is Moira dela Torre's Paubaya. The song was made possible through Moira's collaboration with her husband, Jason Hernandez. The song talks about someone's unreciprocated love. Paubaya is a heartbreaking song filled with strikingly painful lines.


Whoever watched the Miss Universe Philippines swimsuit segment would surely recognize the song immediately. Well, the upbeat song was written by Kiko Salazar and performed by JM Baler. Many positively said that Filipino songs should be as catchy and as lively as Magandang Dilag to let foreign listeners feel the Filipino vibe.


All in all, these songs were made to entertain, express, and show the Filipino spirit through music. There are more songs to be proud of, so we must continue to support local and touch the heart of the people worldwide.
