"Pantropiko" is a song recorded by Filipino girl group Bini. It was released as the second pre-release single of their debut extended play (EP), Talaarawan, on November 17, 2023.

Background and release[edit]

Following the positive reception garnered by Bini's previous single "Karera", Star Magic announced "Pantropiko" as the group's second pre-release single to promote their EP Talaarawan.[1] The song, alongside an accompanying performance video, was released on November 17, 2023.[2][3]

Composition[edit]

"Pantropiko" is three minutes and 45 seconds long.[4] The song is set in common time with a tempo of 95 beats per minute and written in the key of B.[5] It was produced by Mat Olivades and Jumbo De Belen and composed by Olivades, De Belen, Angelika Ortiz, and Paula Patricia Chavez.[1]

Commercial performance[edit]

A few months after its release, "Pantropiko" gained massive virality on TikTok, spawning countless dance challenge videos, which led to the song's rapid rise on domestic music charts.[6] On February 11, the song entered the Philippine edition of Spotify Charts' Daily Top Songs at number 173, before topping the chart on April 18.[2] With the momentum of the song's success, coupled with the release of Talaarawan on March 8, Bini achieved the milestone of becoming Spotify's highest-streamed female OPM artist, as well as the Filipino P-pop group with the most monthly listeners.[7][8]

Five months after the song debuted, "Pantropiko" also peaked at number one on the Billboard Philippines Songs Chart for the week of April 27, 2024, marking Bini as the first P-pop group in history to top the chart.[9]
