Pero time ng BINI ngayon, we have to respect that.” (Maybe during our time, we deserved it. But it’s BINI’s time now; we have to respect that.), Aira said. “Ibigay na natin sa kannila iyon.” (Let us give that to them.), Aifha added.

During the event, the group revealed a teaser for their forthcoming bubblegum pop single. “Unang Kilig” (First Smitten), is set for release on 5 March at 9PM (Philippine Standard Time). The track was written and produced by Jeremy G. The release will be accompanied with a music video produced by YouMeUsMNL. Member Jhoanna said she felt “kilig” (butterflies) and energised throughout the shoot. The 35-second teaser video evokes the aesthetic of 1980s audition tapes, capturing a distinct VHS-era feel. It features eight members in retro inspired outfits. The concept blends nostalgia with a sense of playfulness.
