dwta and SB19’s justin reimagines “Sampung Mga Daliri” into a tale of doomed romance

The duo recently performed the unreleased track at the 10th Wish Music Awards last January 19, 2025

Rising singer-songwriter dwta links up with SB19’s justin for a striking new collaboration, “Sampung Mga Daliri,” a folk-pop lullaby that captures the degradation of a love that was once formidable and promising. 

Released under Sony Music Entertainment, the track reimagines the classic Filipino nursery rhyme into a poignant tale of doomed romance, with no way to save it. 

“Sampung Mga Daliri” deals with the heartbreaking realization that love is no longer enough to make two people stay together. The song eloquently shows how the simple act of holding hands loses its meaning when there’s no one left to hold.

The new track marks a subtle shift towards a more pop-oriented sound

Continuing her rise to mainstream acclaim, dwta releases her new single “'Di Naman” via Sony Music Entertainment. 

On her lushly arranged alt-pop track, the Albay native expresses her frustrations with someone who may not reciprocate the same infatuated feelings as hers.

As dwta describes it, “’Di Naman is a song about the playful but frustrating side of unrequited love. Back when I first started writing it, it felt like I was just venting about my crushes and my fear of rejection. But as time passed and I experienced more, I realized the song wasn't just about being scared to make the first move but also about accepting that sometimes things don’t go your way in love.”

Written as a paean to her hometown and as a love letter to the person she considers her greatest confidante, “Pauwi Na 'Ko (Dito Ka Na Lang)” showcases dwta’s earnest songwriting style, which combines Filipino and Bicolano language to convey a narrative that is both inclusive and personal.
