00:00All of us have gone through something like falling in love, having an affair.
00:09Of course, when you have an affair, you'll have an ex, right?
00:12So at some point in your life, sometimes you look back at it, right?
00:16So what if?
00:22My Youngbin album actually, it was released last Feb, 2024, okay?
00:28Then I have a finiture of my career single, Laho.
00:33But this time, I'd like to offer everyone my second single for this.
00:38And then this is an original as well.
00:41This is Naglalambing.
00:43So this song is more, more, more sad.
00:48Actually, this is a bit of a contrast.
00:51Because when I released Laho,
00:52that's the right kind of, you know, those chummy, chummy feels.
00:58When we're a bit sad about our crushes.
01:01But this time, the content is a bit mature, right?
01:05It's not rated, but it's about your exes, right?
01:09It's more controversial, in a way.
01:12This is like a consolation to your exes.
01:16You need to listen to the rest of the song
01:19to see why you need to console your exes.
01:23Well, in a way, maybe before,
01:26maybe all of us have gone through that.
01:30That you fell in love, had an affair.
01:35Of course, when you have an affair, you'll have an ex, right?
01:38So at some point in your life,
01:40sometimes you look back at it, right?
01:42So what if?
01:44Actually, that's where the inspiration for the song sprang out.
01:47What if?
01:49Can I talk to my ex again?
01:52So it's something that,
01:54of course, we're not that young anymore
01:57to write songs that we can't relate to.
02:01So in a way, this stage of love,
02:05because I still see it as a stage of love,
02:08tackles this topic.
02:12The consolation or the search for closure to your ex.
02:17What is consolation?
02:19Actually, as I said,
02:22because my first single in Agong is Laho.
02:25So it's very contrasting in terms of
02:28the feel of the two songs.
02:31Laho is a little bit more of a lead.
02:33Although they're both in Tagalog,
02:36which is also sometimes quite challenging.
02:38Sinaglalang is also a ballad.
02:41So when you're writing ballads,
02:43you really need to go deeper into the song.
02:48That means the lyrics and melody
02:51need to be built
02:54compared to the underlying music.
02:59That's why it's very stripped down.
03:02If you can hear it,
03:03it's more vocals and piano
03:06so that you can really hear the message.
03:09I think that part of our heart as Filipinos
03:15is being very sentimental.
03:18It's really in our blood
03:22that we're sentimental.
03:24We really feel it when we're sad
03:27or when we're moved by a song.
03:31And that's what I wanted to catch for this song.
03:36It's a bit challenging, of course.
03:38But at the same time, it's also fruitful.
03:41Once you're able to say,
03:44this is it,
03:45the song is complete.
