About this Song
Rock and roll as a global form draws its power from the ways it adapts to the specific creative landscapes it moves through, and Untamed emerges from the Philippines’ longstanding, vibrant engagement with that foundational genre’s core ethos of unapologetic energy. The title alone taps into a lineage of rock and roll work that pushes against the boundaries of what mainstream creative spaces often frame as acceptable, a thread that runs through every iteration of the genre, from its earliest origins to the modern iterations that circulate across global creative networks today. To classify a work as rock and roll is to situate it within a lineage that has always prioritized autonomy of expression, a value that has resonated deeply with creators across the Philippines, who have used the genre’s framework to explore their own unique perspectives, experiences, and creative priorities for decades.
