With their world tour still underway and leader Jhoanna’s promise of ‘more music, more shows, and more collaborations,’ it looks like BINI’s stellar 2025 run will keep its momentum
MANILA, Philippines – BINI dropped their latest single “Shagidi” on Thursday, June 5, adding to the growing list of milestones the P-pop girl group has achieved in 2025.
“Shagidi” sees Maloi, Colet, Gwen, Stacey, Sheena, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Aiah tap into their childhood as the song takes inspiration from the classic Filipino children’s chant game “Shagidi Shapopo.”
The song’s release is somewhat symbolic — allowing BINI to showcase a part of Filipino culture while they bring their talents to the global stage in their ongoing “BINIverse World Tour.” The tour is making stops across 14 locations globally, and will conclude in Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada.
But what makes the song extra special is its cover art — which was designed by member Maloi.
“Shagidi” was composed by OPM singer Angela Ken, Marqueze Parker, Tommy Brown, Courtlin Jabrae, and JBach.
The song’s release comes just after the drop of the P-pop girl group’s EP BINIverse, which features tracks like “Blink Twice,” “Zero Pressure,” “Secrets (feat. eaJ),” “Out of My Head,” “Cherry On Top,” and “Cherry On Top – BiniMo Remix.”
But perhaps one of other BINI’s most remarkable milestones is their inclusion in Forbes Asia‘s “30 under 30,” a list that recognizes groups and individuals in Asia “with a bold vision for the future.”
Forbes Asia particularly lauded the eight-member girl group for its impact on the Asian music industry — citing their world tour and sold-out Philippine Arena concert in February. The publication also mentioned the international accolades BINI received, such as Best Asia Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards and Billboard K Power 100’s Voices of Asia.
BINI earlier spoke about their plans to “dominate” the international music scene this year.
“There will always be pressure, but, as a group, we don’t want to think about making it into a chart or topping a list; as long as it is from our hearts, it will resonate with the fans,” the group’s leader Jhoanna said at the launch of The Official Philippines Chart in February.
With their world tour still underway and leader Jhoanna’s promise of “more music, more shows, and more collaborations,” it looks like BINI’s stellar 2025 run will keep its momentum.
BINI officially debuted in 2021 after its eight-member lineup was formed through ABS-CBN’s Star Hunt Academy. – Rappler.com
