Filipino singer-songwriter mrld has released a bold new single, “PARA SAKIN,” blending a catchy hook with self-assured lyricism.
Released on June 5, 2026, the track marks the 21-year-old artist’s first release as an independent musician following her departure from previous label, O/C Records.
Sharing her latest single on social media, the “Sandali” hitmaker reflected on the challenges she faced, writing, “the first couple of months this year was a very rough patch but a probinsyana Bisaya kid can always do anything.” She also expressed gratitude to her producer, her team, and everyone who supported the recent release.
Accompanied by an eye-catching cover artwork featuring the singer wrapped in caution tape, the single serves as a smooth and confident serenade to a lover, boldly declaring herself above the competition.
Written by mrld herself, the track overflows with swagger, highlighted by the catchy chorus: “Kung ako ‘yan, ako bahala sa’tin / Kung ako ‘yan, panis lahat ‘yan sa’kin / Kung ako ‘yan, ‘di ka pahahamakin / Kakapusin ka lang sa hangin.”
Earlier this year, the Filipina artist announced on social media that she was “no longer in any contact with O/C Records.” The statement was followed by a public exchange with her former label, culminating in her candid explanation: “I deserve more than 5% of the songs I wrote and produced. I didn’t go independent because I’m selfish and want revenge. I WENT INDEPENDENT BECAUSE MY FAMILY NEEDS TO EAT AND LIVE,” shedding light on her decision to pursue her career independently.
Signed to O/C Records since 2021, mrld rose to prominence through her viral hits “An Art Gallery Could Never Be As Unique As You” and “Ligaya.” She later released her debut album, 7th Sense, on March 7, 2025, under the label.
