In an interview with Denin Sy, the singer-songwriter reveals the process behind his latest single.The creation of Denin’s latest single was inspired by themes of heartbreak, and a segment of the noontime show, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Showtime</a>. “First, sobrang nauuso yung mga break up. Second, something inspired by ‘di ba may segment sa Showtime na ‘Ex-pecially for you,” he shared. Collaboration played a crucial role in the song’s development, with Denin acknowledging his co-writers’ contribution. Even when the song was in its raw form, he already felt that it held a lot of potential.When asked about the song’s sound, Denin revealed a journey of experimentation and adaptation. He described creating multiple versions.“Yung una gumawa ako ng acoustic version, tapos yung tunog niya parang yung mga yung Jireh Lim. Pero ano siya I use that as demo lang,” he said.Denin also revealed that he was invited to pitch it to a movie starring Alessandra de Rossi.“So, tinry ko na ipa-alegro ito na mag-tunog soundtrack na mag-fit sa film na produced ng Viva, pero wala, I didn’t get a call back e. Hindi sila nag-call back.”After that attempt,. Denin admitted how he felt like it might be one of his last releases.  “So, yung spiel ko kasi medyo madrama na baka isa na ‘to sa mga last releases ko,” he said. “Kasi parang nagi-get into music ako pero parang medyo walang gaano namang nangyayari.”Denin decided to perform it at a bar where Dionela, a singer, heard it. “Sabi niya, ‘Sayang yung song. Maganda. If you allow me I’ll produce it. Tignan natin kung magwork.’ Pero ganon parang nanghinayang siya doon sa song,” he recalled. Despite uncertainties about its success, Denin expressed pride in the song’s quality. “Actually, parang without considering yung sa streaming platform, happy ako. Kahit listening to it, happy na ako,” he said. “This is material na I’m very proud of.”With the unexpected success of his latest single, his outlook has shifted to a more positive one.“We’ll see. Sana mag-hit siya,” he said. “I hope na mag-play siya sa TV and radio programs. I hope ma-notice din siya ng mga ibang online platforms and ma-perform siya sa mga Wish Bus, sa mga TV station.”Speaking of the Wish Bus, Denin mentions that he’s performed for the Wish Bus three times already since 2019.<iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-17" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C089_-gv1q2/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A17%2C%22os%22%3A7583184.300000012%2C%22ls%22%3A4483318.599999994%2C%22le%22%3A4486374.199999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="747" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-17" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>He admits that the song hts a personal note with him, as he and his co-writer have both experienced being put in a situation like that. This is probably why some have mentioned that the singing on the track was so heartfelt.Denin shares that when he was recording the song, the producer left the room.“Parang ano kasi siya nung pinarecord sa akin sa studio, parang umalis pa yung producer. Sabi niya, ‘You can close your eyes. Iwan kita dito. Basta isipin mo yung situation na yun dati,” he shared. Denin’s song, “Wag Mo Na Siyang Balikan”, was released last March 21, followed by the music video last April 1. The couple from “Ex-pecially for You” whose story the song was inspired by was also the cast in his music video. Three days after it dropped, the music video already garnered 20K views on Facebook and 7K views on Youtube.Though the theme of the song was about not going back to your ex-partner, Denin admitted that there is no sure answer when put in that situation in real life.“Mahirap din e kasi yun yung pinaka-mahirap e. Andaming pros and cons e. Hindi naman lahat logic e ‘di ba?”Watch Denin Sy’s “Wag Mo Na Siyang Balikan” Music Video Here:<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KRtLkyeG_Zw" title="Wag Mo Na Siyang Balikan - Denin Sy (Official Music Video)" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>—By Samantha Prats
