"Beso" by Dani Zam skillfully blends mellow vocals and catchy beats into an enchanting OPM track. It's about love that playfully lingers at the stage of "hanggang beso lang ako" (just a kiss in the cheek for now). It's when you don't want to lose the person and hope that your affection is not doubted even when you're unable to progress further into the relationship. "Beso" is a heartfelt story from the lives of people dear to Dani Zam, woven into melodies that capture emotions and love.
I think I wanted to start with a song that anybody - whatever gender / race / age - could relate to. The concept of “hanggang beso” is so sawi, so quintessentially Pinoy and familiar, and I want the listeners to have that experience recognized — especially cuz it’s so human and simple. It’s relatable, it’s catchy, it’s got a really funky groove. I think there is something inherently joyful about the track, and I just wanna get people dancing and feeling something. – Dani Zam on what “Beso” is about
The song has a good hook, I think it has definite earworm potential. The kind that gets stuck in your head during a commute or a slow day at work. The song that you dance to with your friends at a bar, that you bob your head to on a weekend road trip, or that you use as the background audio on your newest TikTok video. – Dani Zam on where she sees “Beso” going.
