Universal Records PH is proud to announce the debut release of one of its newest artists, XYVRL, with her captivating single “Ako Lang ‘To.”
“Ako Lang ‘To” is a song about how it gets lonely at the top. The song delves into the challenges of finding equally driven and passionate individuals when one is focused on personal goals. It also sheds light on the misunderstood nature of quiet people, emphasizing that their silence often stems from conserving energy for meaningful interactions rather than shyness.
XYVRL’s journey into music began almost as soon as she could talk. By the age of 2, she was already singing the full melody of “Alone” by Heart, and by 3, she was crafting and humming her own tunes. Her passion for music continued to blossom throughout her childhood, leading her to write acoustic songs and perform at school events. Self-taught on the guitar and keyboard, and with basic violin mentoring, XYVRL’s early years were marked by a deep, self-driven musical education.
The pandemic marked a significant turning point in her musical journey. A school assignment allowed her to explore recording, leading her from acoustic to hip-hop. This shift opened new doors, and soon she was participating in online songwriting contests and rap challenges. Her talent did not go unnoticed, earning recognition from Filipino rap legends Gloc-9, Smugglaz, and Loonie.
XYVRL’s exposure to various music genres growing up has shaped her into a versatile artist, capable of blending different styles to create something uniquely her own. No wonder she easily got recognized by a major record label here in the Philippines like UR. Her debut single “Ako Lang ‘To” is just the beginning, promising a fresh and innovative sound that is sure to captivate audiences.
Ako Lang ‘To by XYVRL
(Verse 1)
Gusto ko lang bilangin mga natatanggap ko ngayon, ngayon
Parang dati binubulong ko lang sa hangin lahat ng iyon
‘Di mapakali dahil kailangan kong gumalaw
Ngayon nakaalis na rin ako sa’king kahon (masikip doon)
Daming nakilala
Dami gusto sakin makilala
Isip lumala na ngunit nanatiling isip-bata
Para maiba sa taong malala na
Ako’y nag-iisa
I’m the only one ika nga ni Rihanna
Kahit lonely take it from me
Kaya mo maging masaya kahit it’s only
Ako lang, me
(Chorus)
Lahat ng mga nag-iisa, say eyo say eyo uh
Sa mga walang makausap, say e-eyo e-eyo oh woah
Kahit mga tahimik I get it may isisigaw ka
Kami lang ‘to, kami lang ‘to
Kuntento mag-isa
Walang halong biro
(Verse 2)
Walang halong biro
Oo, minsan minsan lang magpabibo
Matik na paquito, gumalaw malisto
Tanungin mo na’ko, aba walang paki ‘to
Pag dere-deretsong nagsasalita
Kaya gusto kong tahimik para mabulaga
Para makinig habang ako’y nag dadadada
Nakabudol ng hindi lang isa pero marami pa ‘kong baon
Abutin man maghapon ako’y nakaupo
Okay, masaya na nga yon
Nakikinig minsan nga kinikilig
Minsan nga tinitili mostly napapabilib sa aking sarili
May timbre, isip mala Enrile
Tahimik lang pero kanina pako nakasilip
Nagmamasid sa gilid, puro kayo makitid
Kaya siguro ‘la kong makausap at mapihit
(Chorus)
Lahat ng mga nag-iisa, say eyo say eyo uh
Sa mga walang makausap, say e-eyo e-eyo oh woah
Kahit mga tahimik I get it may isisigaw ka
Kami lang ‘to, kami lang ‘to
Kuntento mag-isa
Walang halong biro
(Bridge)
Ooh pero kahit ganoon
Malungkot nga pag nakahon
Ayoko na bumalik doon
Minsan nga kailangan ng kausap pero mahirap
Makahanap ng interesado ‘lang kumukurap
(Chorus)
Lahat ng mga nag-iisa, say eyo say eyo uh
Sa mga walang makausap, say e-eyo e-eyo oh woah
Kahit mga tahimik I get it may isisigaw ka
Kami lang ‘to, kami lang ‘to
Kuntento mag-isa
Walang halong biro
Lahat ng mga nag-iisa, say eyo say eyo uh
Sa mga walang makausap, say e-eyo e-eyo oh woah
Kahit mga tahimik I get it may isisigaw ka
Kami lang ‘to, kami lang ‘to
Kuntento mag-isa
Walang halong biro
