PROMINENT Filipino singers have banded together to create a tribute single for the COVID-19 frontliners “who work tirelessly to keep society functioning despite collective struggles.”

Titled “Life in Your Hands,” the song — written by Chito Ilagan, Therese Marie Villarante, Ito Rapadas, and Njel de Mesa, produced by Ito Rapadas and arranged by Rye Sarmiento — brought together artists from PolyEast Records and Universal Records.

The artists who lent their voices to the project were Martin Nievera, Christian Bautista, Ebe Dancel, Julie Anne San Jose, TJ Monterde, Eunice Jorge of Gracenote, Tutti Caringal of 6Cyclemind, Kyle Juliano, Janina Vela, Kiara San Luis of Imago, Daniel Paringit of Better Days, Kurei, Sassa Dagdag, Drei Rana, Selena Marie, and Raffy Calicdan.

The song uses Scottish folk song “Auld Lang Syne” as its backing track but it has been modernized and given lyrics apt to the current situation of a world suffering from a pandemic.

“With gratitude in their hearts and the song’s calming and reassuring lyrics, the song hopes to give further thanks to the silent heroes of our world today,” a press release said.

“Life In Your Hands” is now available for purchase on iTunes and streaming on Spotify and all platforms under Universal Records. — ZBC
