Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition winners Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo released their first music collaboration, “What If Tayo?,” which quickly topped the iTunes Philippines songs chart.
The track, composed and produced by ABS-CBN Music’s Jonathan Manalo, explores the story of two best friends considering the possibility of a romance. It was first teased by Star Music through a fan fiction inspired by Salamanca and Manalo.
The lyric video has drawn more than 312,000 views on YouTube in five days and was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines playlist.
The single follows Salamanca’s debut release, “Sino Nga Ba Siya,” which topped the iTunes Philippines and United Arab Emirates charts and surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify. The Kapuso star earlier went viral for her cover of the same song, which reached No. 3 on the Spotify Philippines Viral Songs chart.
“What If Tayo?” also marks Manalo’s first single. The Kapamilya actor previously appeared in the digital film The Four Bad Boys and Me and starred in the music video for Philpop Himig Handog’s winning entry “Wag Paglaruan.”
The track is now available on major streaming platforms.
