Give a Filipino a microphone, a familiar OPM song, and three minutes of uninterrupted stage time, and suddenly they have a full concert tour planned.

The songbook is already open. Someone has claimed their favorite number. The friend who insisted they “don’t sing” is mysteriously holding the mic by the second verse. And the person who was only supposed to have one drink is now emotionally preparing for the bridge.

Karaoke has always been less about sounding perfect and more about committing to the bit. That’s why OPM fits so naturally into the experience: these are songs we already know by heart, whether we learned every lyric from streaming them on repeat or absorbed them from someone else’s dramatic karaoke performance. Now, newer means to sing along to your favorite OPM hits have become easier.

Favorites like Ashtine Olviga’s Love Like Ashtine, Cup of Joe’s Sandali EP, or “Multo” seamlessly expand the modern Filipino karaoke playlist. Singing them turns simple listening into a shared, expressive experience.

Nobody needs perfect pitch. You just need confidence, questionable decisions, and the willingness to give the final chorus everything you have.

That familiar experience is what Vivaoke brings into the digital space. Developed by Viva Communications and Viva Music Group, the karaoke app lets users sing, record, and share their favorite songs, bringing contemporary OPM together with familiar Filipino classics.

It gives newer releases another life beyond our headphones. A song can start as something you quietly replay on your way home, then become the track you fight your friends over when the karaoke remote lands in your hands.

Whether you’re singing for the room, for your friends, for someone who isn’t there, or simply because the song hit a little too hard today, there’s probably an OPM track waiting for your turn at the mic.
