About this Song
Janine Berdin, a pop artist rooted in the Philippines’ thriving domestic music scene, centers What if I miss you for the rest of my life? in the rich, decades-long tradition of Filipino pop that has turned local acts into beloved cultural staples for audiences across the country and the global Filipino diaspora. Berdin’s work grows out of a robust ecosystem that has nurtured pop and pop rock creators for generations, with a lineage of acts that first cut their teeth in small local scenes before breaking through to national mainstream attention, building fanbases that span multiple generations of listeners who connect with the specific, unguarded emotional candor that defines much of the Philippines’ most popular pop output. One such foundational group that helped pave the way for contemporary pop artists like Berdin is Cueshé, a Filipino pop rock band hailing from Cebu that now maintains its base in Manila.
