Cup of Joe’s hit single Multo has officially claimed the Song of the Year title at the first-ever Filipino Music Awards 2025, held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The emotional track, which blends alternative pop and rock influences, marks a major milestone for the Baguio-based band and the OPM industry.

Released in early 2025 as part of their debut album Silakbo, Multo quickly captured the hearts of Filipino listeners. The song’s haunting lyrics about memories that refuse to fade struck a deep chord with fans. Its powerful storytelling, paired with Cup of Joe’s signature sound, helped it dominate the charts for months and achieve hundreds of millions of streams across platforms.

The track’s success extended beyond the Philippines. Multo became one of the few Filipino songs to enter the Billboard Global 200, peaking at #28. Its staying power on Spotify’s Global Top 50 further cemented Cup of Joe’s place in the global music scene.

Winning Song of the Year highlights how Multo has defined a new era of OPM. The Filipino Music Awards recognition celebrates not only the band’s artistry but also the growing international reach of Original Pilipino Music. According to Billboard Philippines, the song stood out for its emotional authenticity and strong fan connection.

As Cup of Joe continues to tour and release new material, Multo remains their most defining anthem to date. It represents the evolution of OPM and the passion of Filipino artists to create music that resonates worldwide.
