“Laro ng Puso” is an original retro Manila Sound love song about the thrilling uncertainty of romance — when mixed signals, stolen glances, and playful pride turn emotions into a beautiful game.
The song captures that familiar push-and-pull between two people who both feel something real, yet neither wants to admit it first. It’s about teasing words, almost-confessions, and the quiet hope that the other person feels the same. In true classic OPM fashion, the story unfolds with sincerity, charm, and just the right touch of kilig.
This single introduces JR Bagatsing, an imagined OPM balladeer brought to life through an AI-assisted creative collaboration. JR is portrayed as a charming, heartfelt Filipino singer-songwriter who grew up surrounded by love stories told through music. His mother adored classic kundiman and romantic OPM ballads, while his father filled their home with vinyl records of Manila Sound, early pop, and dance music. From quiet afternoons to lively family gatherings, these sounds shaped JR’s emotional, story-driven approach to songwriting.
In “Laro ng Puso,” that upbringing shines through — a love story told with warmth, subtle playfulness, and timeless Filipino sentiment. Rooted in the golden era of 1970s–1980s Manila Sound yet entirely original, the song reflects the signature Himig ng Maynila identity: romantic, expressive, and proudly Filipino.
