About this Song
Jolianne, a Filipino singer and songwriter from Cebu City, presents "Palayo Sa Mundo," a collaboration with Arthur Nery that entered the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 in late January 2026 and reached No. 48 by late February, marking Jolianne's first appearance on the chart. This track, released in October 2025, represents their second collaboration, following "Lullaby" from Nery's 2024 album *II: The Second*. As of March 2026, "Palayo Sa Mundo" had surpassed 25 million streams on Spotify, contributing to Jolianne's over 2.5 million monthly listeners, and by August 2026, it had crossed 70 million streams. The song was written during a songwriting camp with producer Luke April. Jolianne initially conceived an English concept titled "The World Can Wait," focusing on self-reflection or an identity crisis. However, Arthur Nery helped write the Tagalog lyrics for "Palayo Sa Mundo" from Jolianne's perspective, as Tagalog is not her primary writing language.
