BINI embraces themes of love, youth, and self-discovery in the new album “Flames,” released just in time for the nation’s girl group’s highly anticipated “BINIfied” concert at the Philippine Arena this Nov. 29 (Saturday).

The new album was inspired by a Filipino love acronym, “FLAMES,” that symbolizes different relationships. BINI reintroduced this acronym with the group’s own unique meaning through its seven tracks, “First Luv,” “Sweet Tooth,” “Paruparo,” “Infinity,” “Katabi,” “Bikini,” and “Shagidi.”

“Sweet Tooth” is a dreamy, slow-burn pop track that likens irresistible desire to sugar—sweet, addictive, and impossible to get enough of.

Dedicated to Filipinos working and living abroad, “Katabi” reflects the deep longing for someone far away while holding on to the comfort of their love.

“Infinity” celebrates a friendship built to last, shaped by both joyful memories and challenging moments, and was composed by ABS-CBN Music artists Jeremy G and WRIVE members Russu and Ishiro.

“Paruparo” celebrates self-discovery and the freedom that comes with embracing growth and transformation, like a butterfly learning to spread its wings.

With “First Luv” and “Shagidi” released earlier this year and “Paruparo” dropping just two weeks ago, the album had already reached a combined 17 million Spotify streams even before its full release.

The new album comes after BINI’s back-to-back win at the 38th Awit Awards, where they won People’s Voice Favorite Group Artist, People’s Favorite Album of the Year for “Talaarawan,” Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Salamin, Salamin,” and the Vibe Stan Award for their Blooms. They also bagged huge wins at the Breaktudo Awards 2025 for International Women Group and International Collaboration of the Year for “Blink Twice (Dos Veces Remix).”

Tracks from their “Flames” album will be performed at their upcoming “BINIfied” concert at the Philippine Arena on Nov. 29. VIP seated, lower box B premium, and upper box A tickets have sold out, while VIP standing (P14,999), lower box regular A (P7,499), lower box B regular (P4,499), upper box B (P1,999), and gen ad (P849) are still available via Ticketnet and Pulp Tickets.
