Heartfelt, genuine, and totally uplifting!
The rising Baguio-based pop band from the Philippines, Cup of Joe, continues to showcase the talent and creativity of today’s Filipino music scene with the release of their new song, “Lahat ng Bukas” on February 9, 2024. With over four million monthly listeners on Spotify, the band is known for their hit songs “Tingin“, “Ikaw Pa Rin ang Pipiliin Ko,” and “Estranghero“. What makes them standout in today’s generation is their unique way of blending elements of pop, rock, and folk in their music.
Composed by Raphael Ridao, “Lahat ng Bukas” stands as a testament to this blend, featuring the talented young singer and songwriter Keanna Mag. Her vocal execution and soothing delivery add depth to this heartfelt piece.

Takot ay ibubura
Pangako magtiwala na
Lahat ng bukas ay ibibigay

The smooth vocals, beautiful lyricism, haunting melody, and uplifting message of the song are what makes this song special. It highlights the importance of hope, courage, optimism, self-love, and the assurance that each day presents an opportunity to improve and get better.
“Lahat ng Bukas” makes us realize that it’s okay to give ourselves the time to heal and breathe. We all have different paths to follow, to learn, and to relearn. In time, we’ll eventually reach our destinations.
Even if you’re single, or in a relationship, this song serves also as a prayer to God that we are committed to be the better version of ourselves. Only God can fill the void in our hearts. Keep the faith and remember that we are all works in progress. Let’s live life to the fullest and with purpose.
COJ is certainly emerging as a major force in OPM today, representing the sound of the new generation, especially for the Filipino audience. Shoutout to the fans (Joewhas). ♥
