Filipina singer-songwriter mrld has released her newest single, “Panata,” dedicating the song to listeners who “love being in love.”

The 21-year-old artist first teased the track on September 18, 2026, through social media with a home video-style clip of herself by the shore, recorded by her girlfriend and fellow artist, Ryannah J. She later shared another teaser on TikTok featuring the pair spending a quiet moment at the same beach, captioned, “save the date?”

Released on September 25, 2026, “Panata” leans into the singer-songwriter’s most vulnerable side yet, with its promise-filled chorus: “Pangakong ako ang kanlungan / Sa tuwing dumadalaw ang pagod at lungkot / At hinding-hindi ka iiwan / Nandito ako, ang iyong tagasalo / Pangakong ‘di na maglalaho / Sa ‘kin ka lang sumilong.”

Described by mrld as a song born from falling deeply in love, she explains, “i fell in love so hard bro i wrote a whole love song that contains wedding vows.” The song’s heartfelt lyrics and tender melody capture the weight of the artist’s devotion, turning it into an intimate declaration of love and commitment.

Marking a softer turn from mrld’s tracks earlier this year, “Panata” follows the release of “PARA SAKIN” in June and her collaboration with Dom Guyot, “sakim,” in July. Both tracks showcased a more R&B-leaning sound and a confident, passionate approach to romance, while her latest release centers more directly on vulnerability and the promise of lasting love.
