Some relationships aren’t written in the stars, but feelings of love and regret linger on even after they end. This is the unfortunate situation encapsulated in raven’s latest track S.U.K.I. (“Sa Umiikot Kong Isip – eng trans: Circles in my Mind): that of a tragic love story that just wasn’t meant to be. The heartbreaking hip-hop track proves as a successful collaboration born out of TikTok, with OPM icon Rico Blanco at the helm as producer, along with newcomers Naila and somere, who wrote their own parts of the song. With its relatable lyrics and its modern production, the tragic love song in SUKI will definitely keep the track running in people’s minds.
