OPM icons Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez-Alcasid showcase their constant evolution as music artists in their new single and collaboration with DJ M.O.D. titled “I L Y.”
The hip, upbeat, and danceable love song is not the usual sound and style of the real-life couple and serves as a testament to their fearless attitude of trying out new things amid changing times and tastes of audiences.
Written and produced by “It’s Showtime” sound designer DJ M.O.D. with the duo Darren & Cashwell, “I L Y” talks about approaching love without any complication and simply embracing it devoid of any fear.
Meanwhile, netizens on YouTube commented what a breath of fresh air the song is for Ogie and Regine and how flawlessly they pulled it off.
“Very refreshing to hear from Ogie and Regine,” said Ma. Pippa. “Ang ganda ng song and beat,” echoed Ashley Jheanne Casano.
Ogie’s “It’s Showtime” co-host Vhong Navarro also started a dance challenge for the song on TikTok, where its hashtag #ILYDanceChallenge has so far recorded over 515,000 views.
In 2021, Ogie dropped his self-penned singles “Pasko ng mga Pinoy” and “Thank You, Pa” while the ‘Asia’s Songbird’ recorded the song “’Di Ka Nag-iisa” for the official soundtrack of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”
