BGYO is back with another upbeat love song to get you on your feet. "Tumitigil Ang Mundo," translated in English as "The World Stops," describes the feeling you get when you see that special someone and nothing else around matters but that person at that moment. The music video for the track was shot at a popular theme park in Laguna, Philippines, helping represent the happy and exciting feeling of the lyrics of the song.
The track was composed by Marcial Domingo Antonio, Frederico Miguel Claveria, and Julius James De Belen of FlipMusic. Check out the fun music video below, directed by Karlo Calingao.

What a year it has been for BGYO. From their debut at the top of 2021 to the release of multiple singles, music videos, and their first album, they have had a fantastic first year. Over the weekend, the boys celebrated with a two-hour live stream with their fans, looking back at all the milestones they reached in their first year. If you missed it, don't worry; it's saved and uploaded to their YouTube, and you can watch it below.
In the live stream, you can see the boys back together at the BGYO house, with Gelo currently isolating since he just came from a wedding to keep it safe and well with Covid protocols. But since they're all back together again, we're sure it's safe to say that we can all look forward to some great new things coming soon.
Speaking of that, just today, the group released a teaser for The Light International music videos. As most of you know, their debut single, The Light, was recorded in multiple languages and can be streamed on their debut album. Check out the teaser below.
Last year BGYO had their first magazine cover shoot experience as a group with Parcinq magazine for their "Music Issue." The cover story was written by Katie Reyes. Her writing brought us into the shoot penning a visually detailed picture of what the day consisted of for the boys. But now, to accompany that cover story, we have a vlog-style behind-the-scenes look at what happened that day, direct from BGYO themselves.
We get a peep into the styling, the shoot, and the excitement behind the lens from Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate. Check out the video below and see how they got the shots for the editorial.
