Background and release

[edit]

On February 14, 2024, Bini announced that their debut extended play (EP), Talaarawan, would be released on March 8, 2024.[4] During a Valentine’s Day event, Bini's leader Jhoanna revealed in an interview that the release date was intentionally selected to serve as a gift for their fans and to symbolize celebration and appreciation for their supporters.[5]

Bini member Mikha emphasized Bini's advocacy for women’s empowerment, expressing their desire to inspire women and boost confidence in all individuals. During their media conference for the EP, she noted that the release date coinciding with International Women’s Day aligns with their goal to empower and inspire.[6] Jhoanna described the EP, Talaarawan, which means "diary" in Filipino, as a comforting record for their fans.[7] She explained that the EP captures their group's journey and expressed hope that it would provide comfort and a sense of connection to their fans, similar to a diary where they could open up and find relief through their music.[5]

Talaarawan, along with three additional tracks, was officially released on March 8, 2024.[8]
