“Bali-Baliktarin” explores longing and the lingering “what ifs” that make moving on difficult. The song captures the conflict of knowing a relationship may be over while still hoping fate could bring two people back together.
Penned by Marion Aunor and produced by Jean-Paul Verona and Izobel Taguiam, the ballad leans into vulnerability with lyrics that reflect the emotional back-and-forth of someone caught between walking away and giving love another chance. In one of its most poignant lines, Caraan sings, “Nalilito ang puso ko / Kung bibitaw o babalikan,” capturing the uncertainty of the relationship.
The chorus doubles down on the song’s message with the lyrics: “At kahit pa bali-baliktarin / Ng tadhanang para sa’tin / Ikaw ang para sa’kin / Kahit ngayon wala ka sa’king piling / Umaasang balang-araw / Tayo’y magtatagpo pa rin.”
Known for songs such as “How You Feel,” “Sana,” and her collaboration with Lee Daewon, “Selfish Guy,” the singer-actress continues to establish herself as one of OPM’s rising voices while effortlessly balancing both her music and acting career.
