In her fierce element on newly dropped music video
Maymay Entrata defies society’s toxic beauty standards in her self-empowering single “Amakabogera,” her latest release under Star Pop.
“Everyone seems to have that same standard—to be beautiful according to what the trend is or what society tells you to be. ‘Amakabogera’ is a song about self-empowerment, being confident in who you are amid the high standards of the world,” said Maymay, whom netizens dubbed as the new solo star of the P-pop movement.
She added, “Don’t ever doubt and compare yourself with others. You are beautiful, you are unique, and you are strong. Don’t let their standards snatch your crown.”
The track, written by Loriebelle Darunday and Elmar Jan Bolano who composed the song with Justin Ian Catalan, encourages listeners to be unapologetic and confident in embracing their own beauty, regardless of what cynics say. It was produced by Star Pop head Rox Santos.
