Everyone knows a teleserye — the cycles, the chaos, the exhausting emotional noise of a relationship that has turned into something you watch happen to yourself. SHANNi named her new single exactly that, and then did something clever: she made it sound like a dream.
Released under Sony Music Entertainment, “Teleserye” follows the success of “Sikretong Tayo Lang May Alam,” which entered Spotify’s Viral 50 Philippines chart and passed one million streams within five months. This time, SHANNi moves into more exposed territory, trading secrecy for clarity and turning real hurt into something more controlled.
“Teleserye feels like a huge step for me creatively and emotionally,” SHANNi said. “With this release, I became more intentional about writing from a place that’s completely honest and personal instead of trying to filter my emotions.”

The song is not built like a revenge anthem. It is quieter than that. SHANNi writes from the point where confusion starts to clear, where the need to explain pain gives way to the need to leave it behind.
“I love the idea of someone being pulled in by a melody that feels addictive, then slowly realizing there’s actually a vulnerable and emotional story underneath everything,” she said.
That contrast gives “Teleserye” its pull. It sounds like a song meant to be replayed, but underneath the hooks is a reckoning with the emotional cost of staying too long in something unhealthy.
The track was written and co-produced by SHANNi with Max Cinco, Ezekiel Diaz, Dave Silonga, and Raine Roque. It is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.
For SHANNi, “Teleserye” shows growth without overstatement. It sounds like a hit, but at its core, it is a young artist learning how to turn damage into distance, and distance into a song.
