About this Song
TJ Monterde’s trajectory as a leading voice of contemporary Filipino pop traces a rare line of critical and commercial success, one that has redefined what it means for a solo OPM artist to resonate both within his home country and across the global Filipino diaspora. As an award-winning singer-songwriter, he has built a discography stacked with fan and critical favorites that span intimate love songs and anthemic tracks that have become staples of Philippine cultural life, with hits including Palagi, Dating Tayo, Mahika, Tulad Mo, and Ikaw At Ako. Each of these tracks has earned its own place in the national music canon, but it is Palagi that has emerged in recent years as a defining cultural touchstone, bridging the gap between independent and mainstream success to become a defining work of 21st century OPM.
