Draft:Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi

"Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" (lit.'Let's Not Go Home Yet') is a song recorded by the Filipino girl group Bini.

Composition and background

edit

Producer Jumbo de Leon drew inspiration from the 2018 romantic drama film The Hows of Us for the song, particularly a climactic scene in which the lead couple have an emotional argument in the rain.[1] In an interview, Del Rosario said that the sapphic undertones of the song were unintentional, adding, "The fact that other people see it as a queer love song just furthers the point that queer love and straight love aren't that different from each other." However, on X (also known as Twitter), Del Rosario supported a fan when they described it as a "sapphic anthem", lightheartedly claiming that "no heterosexual yearns like that".[2]

Rafael Bautista of Nylon Manila described "Umuwi" as a power ballad.[3]
