Some songs don’t just play, they linger, like the aftertaste of a kiss or the scent of perfume that remains long after someone has left. With their latest single ‘Akin Ka Muna Ngayong Gabi,’ OPM boy group Press Hit Play ushers in a bold new sultry era—a Pop R&B-inspired track that reveals a more mature side of the group.
Originally penned in 2020 by one of the members — CHRLS, for his planned solo album, the song was originally made as a duet between him and Yuuki during the group’s pre-debut phase. Built on the supposed to be album theme of the different stages of love, the romantic yet sensual lyrics are paired with a smooth Pop R&B sound—perfect for today’s listeners who crave heartfelt yet modern music.
“This track unveils a deeper, more mature side of Press Hit Play,” the group shares. “It tells the story of two hearts yielding to desire, surrendering to a night where every touch, glance, and kiss speaks a language only they can understand.”
A Creative and Emotional Journey
The single’s lyrics and melody were written and composed by CHRLS, with JP adding finishing touches to the arrangement to elevate its emotional impact. Recording the song proved to be both challenging and memorable for the members, as they took turns experimenting with high notes and vocal parts until each section found the perfect fit.
“It was a challenge, but also exciting,” they reveal. “We wanted to make sure every line carried the right emotion, and that each member’s voice contributed authentically to the message of the song.”
Growth, Resilience, and New Stories to Tell
Having just celebrated their fourth anniversary as a group, Press Hit Play reflected on their journey so far. Beyond honing their music and performances, they have also grown in understanding and supporting each other. Individually, each member has found more confidence in what they bring to the team.
From exploring love and heartbreak to uncovering deeper truths, the group continues to expand their artistry across genres—breaking boundaries to connect with more listeners and inspire countless others through the honesty of their music.
