Top 10 OPM Songs to Listen to While on a Road Trip

road trip tagalog song

Road trips appear to be in order this time of the year. I’ve compiled a list of road trip tunes from the Philippines for your next long drive. So gather your belongings, fill up your gas tank, and sing out these songs.

Overdrive - Eraserheads

road trip tagalog song

Eraserheads - Overdrive [Lyric Video]

Magda-drive ako hanggang Baguio Magda-drive ako hanggang Bicol Magda-drive ako hanggang Batangas Tapos magswi-swimming d'on sa beach…

What better way to start this list than with a song by the finest band to emerge from these islands? The Eraserheads' allure was their pulse on what made Filipinos tick. In this track, they opted to talk about the romantic side of travel, with the gentleman in the song wishing he could drive his automobile everywhere and everywhere. It all comes to a melancholy conclusion when we discover that the man who planned all of this trip doesn't have the money to reach his chosen destinations. As a result, the Eraserheads' status as "The Beatles of the Philippines" is solidified, as the surprising twist echoes the Fab Four's smash "Drive My Car."

Habang Buhay - Zack Tabudlo

road trip tagalog song

Zack Tabudlo - Habang Buhay (Official Music Video)

Aking sinta, ano bang meron sa iyo?...

Zack Tabudlo, the writer, producer, mixer, and master, expresses confidence in the promises of unconditional romance by allowing himself to revel in the golden feeling of being carried away by love while looking forward to many adoring years with that particular someone.

In a statement, Zack Tabudlo states, Habang Buhay has its own life with the happiness of the music alone. "This is different for me because I've never created a song with such a pleasant and uplifting meaning before."

Pagtingin - Ben&Ben

road trip tagalog song

Ben&Ben - Pagtingin | Official Music Video

Dami pang gustong sabihin ngunit wag na lang muna…

"Pagtingin" is a laid-back, soul-infused folk-pop song about the unpredictability of bearing one's love for someone else. It opens a familiar experience that most of us go through but rarely talk about through steady rhythms, gospel-style harmonies, and fun violin, piano, and electric guitar lines.

Bawat Daan - Ebe Dancel

road trip tagalog song

Ebe Dancel - Bawat Daan (Official Music Video)

Bawat kanan at kaliwa Kung timog man o hilaga Ang bawat daan ko Ay patungo, ay pabalik sa yo…

What type of girl wouldn't swoon if she knew she was the guy's only true destination, that every turn he takes in his life leads to her, and if Ebe Dancel himself was singing those words? We're guessing she's a heartless lass.

Diwata - Chito Miranda feat. Abra

road trip tagalog song

Abra ft. Chito Miranda - Diwata (Official Music Video)

Walang hiling na kapalit, Gusto lang kitang mahalin…

I'm aware of Parokya ni Edgar's "Swimming Beach." It's on the playlist, so don't worry. But I bet you didn't understand that this collaboration with Abra is ideal for your next outdoor vacation. It has a feel-good aura that will always remind you of the trees, the mountains, and that special someone holding your hand beside you.

Lutang - jikamarie

road trip tagalog song

Gusto ko lang namang magpa lutang lutang, nagpatangay sa banayad na ihip ng hangin…

When jikamarie's first single, "lutang," was released two months ago, it was well-received. Since then, it has gotten consistent attention as a growing fanbase that streamed the song over five million times on Spotify and Youtube, with the latter adding it to Spotify-curated playlists. "I think that's one of the reasons why people like it so much—they can relate to it so well." "I've had a lot of comments expressing that I've voiced out their sentiments that they couldn't put into words," jikamarie said, "which makes me half glad and half sad knowing so many young people like me share my unhappiness."

Mundo - IV of Spades

road trip tagalog song

IV of Spades perform "Mundo" LIVE on Wish 107.5 Bus

Aking sinta, Ikaw na ang tahanan at mundo…

With the release of their single 'Mundo,' IV of Spades became an OPM juggernaut in 2018. It was a certified hit, with words that would make a hopeless romantic blush, mixed with Unique Salonga's singing.

Pagsamo - Arthur Nery

road trip tagalog song

Pagsamo - Arthur Nery (Official Music Video)

Kung bibitaw nang mahinahon ako ba'y lulubayan ng ating

Mga kahapon na 'di na kayang ayusin ng lambing

Pagsamo is a calm and laid-back track that showcases Nery's seamless fusion of easy-listening jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, and lyrical romanticism. The lyrics are about his wishful thinking about his dream girl and thoughts of letting go, and they're perfect for a road trip and daydreaming about being in a music video while looking out the window.

Pwede ba - Lola Amour

road trip tagalog song

Lola Amour - Pwede Ba (Official Lyric Video)

Pwede ba huwag na muna nating pag-usapan?...

“Pwede Ba” by Lola Amour talks about a dying relationship while being notably upbeat.

It's not because the song is overtly satirical. It's also not an anthem of empowerment. The nearly six-minute piece offers a storyline where he freely admits that he will split up with someone, sung from the perspective of a man on the verge of dissolving romantic ties. He accepts it, but with one condition: "pwede ba huwag muna?" (Can we please refrain from doing so right now?)." "Now," on the other hand, is the moment for brass, funky music, and slightly humorous, non-lexical group singing—all of the components that flavor this track.

Spoliarium - Eraserheads

road trip tagalog song

Dumilim ang paligid…

This statement has remained with many Filipinos, not just because it's the first line of the legendary Eraserheads song "Spoliarium," but also because meme culture has transformed it into a sort of inside joke.

Buendia wrote "Spoliarium," released in 1997 as part of the "Sticker Happy" album. The song's meaning is "becoming pissed drunk," and it's an excellent choice for a road trip.

This Top Picks list will get you started if you're wondering what to listen to on your next road trip. Have fun!

32 songs ultimate long-drive playlist

To go on a long drive with close friends and good music is one of life’s purest pleasures.

The “friends” part is all on you, but here’s a 32-song playlist to help you out with the “music” part, in honor of Inquirer’s 32nd anniversary.

It’s completely subjective and far from exhaustive, but it’s enough to get you started, if you’re wondering what to play on your next road trip.

road trip tagalog song

1. “Overdrive”

By Eraserheads

Too obvious, but singing “Gusto kong matutong mag-drive (kahit na wala akong kotse!) while driving is a thrill like no other.

road trip tagalog song

By Itchyworms

Best to keep the alcohol in a song, and these guys wrote the definitive drinking ditty that also works inside a moving vehicle.

3. “On My Way”

By Wonggoys

If you haven’t heard the songs of the Cebuano brothers, this one sounds like it was literally made for a road trip.

road trip tagalog song

The Neocolours version is pretty good, too.

5. “Picture Picture”

By Tanya Markova

Because what’s a road trip without snapshots?

road trip tagalog song

By Apo Hiking Society

They produced a ton of hits, but this one just feels right for a long drive.

Imagine how fun it is to belt out, “Mahal kita, mahal kita, hindi ito bola” at the top of your lungs with your friends.

road trip tagalog song

By Rivermaya

“Elesi” and “Kisapmata” could work, too, but I keep coming back to this very early hit.

If you’re a certain age, it’ll definitely take you back.

road trip tagalog song

What’s a road trip without a love song? The original is by Bong Gabriel, but the Side A version turns it into an even dreamier ballad.

9. “Keep Dancing”

By Caffeine and Taurine

One of the newer tracks in this playlist transforms the car into a dance floor.

10. “Cool Ka Lang”

By Prettier Than Pink

Over 20 years later, it’s still snappy as hell. (And the message is apt, too, especially for drivers.)

road trip tagalog song

By Francis M.

All I can say is, bless the great Master Rapper for giving the world this song.

12. “Yugto”

By Rico Blanco

Rico Blanco’s first single as a solo artist is a mishmash of different styles and influences, but try blasting it on the way to a surf trip or to Baguio, and it just makes sense.

road trip tagalog song

By Kitchie Nadal

Unless you’re talking about directions, then you really have to say something.

14. “Beep Beep”

By Juan Dela Cruz

I mean, come on. The driver is honking for your attention.

15. “Kahit Na”

Johnoy Danao was part of a band, once upon a time, and this song is as feel-good as it gets.

16. “Never Stop”

By Over October

Just a nice, catchy pop song. (You have to stop sometime, though.)

17. “Betamax”

By Sandwich

“Wala pa nung CD or DVD, meron lang, Betamax.” Thank heavens for Spotify.

road trip tagalog song

By True Faith

Medwin’s ode to a faultless entity is still breezy and fun to listen to after all these years.

19. “Hataw Na”

What, you want to listen to “Natutulog ba ang Diyos?” during the drive?

They’ve written so many other crazy-good songs, but this old hit is still as potent a drive-along song as ever.

21. “With A Smile”

You can never listen to too many Eraserheads songs on a road trip.

22. “Habulan”

This one, from one of my absolute favorite OPM bands, can go from the car to the beach and anywhere else in between.

23. “One Night Boogie”

By Rob and the Hitmen

One listen to this funky, groovy track and you’ll know the future of OPM is in good hands.

road trip tagalog song

By Wolfgang

When you’re falling asleep at the wheel, Basti and company will wake you up, for sure.

road trip tagalog song

By Moonstar 88

On the flipside, if you need to take down the adrenalin levels a notch or two, Acel’s voice should do the trick.

26. “Much Has Been Said”

Bamboo (the band) slowed it down for their sophomore release, and this track is perfect during sundown or the last 10 or so minutes to your destination.

27. “Exploration Number 5”

By Reese Lansangan

The quirky singer-songwriter has written songs about grammar nazis and Mean Girls, but if you’re “exploring” new frontiers or revisiting old haunts, this one is appropriate.

28. “Burnout”

By Sugarfree

Because you gotta have a Sugarfree song in any OPM or road trip playlist.

road trip tagalog song

By Afterimage

Dream of the next long drive with these 90s superstars.

30. “Days and Nights”

By Orange and Lemons

The recently reformed band has a ton of road trip-worthy songs, but this one isn’t just a crowd favorite, it’s just so easy to listen to.

road trip tagalog song

By The Dawn

Thank god for music, for friends and for cars.

32. “Pare Ko”

See number 21.

Meaning of Filipino Road Trip by JOFRED

Album Cover

Filipino Road Trip

Listen to the full song on Apple Music

"Filipino Road Trip" by JOFRED is a song that celebrates Filipino culture, explores immigrant experiences, and addresses issues of identity and self-worth. The lyrics contain references to Filipino food, traditions, and language, while also commenting on societal expectations and personal growth.

The song opens with the mention of Adobo, a popular Filipino dish, symbolizing the singer's connection to their Filipino heritage. The line "I do not fuck with the PB and J" suggests a rejection of traditional American foods and emphasizes the singer's preference for their own cultural cuisine.

The reference to the Rosary hanging in the rearview mirror represents the importance of faith and spirituality in the singer's life. It signifies their reliance on these beliefs to navigate challenges and maintain a sense of hope and strength.

The lyrics "Seen the worst and I need a vacation" and "Y'all wanna make me dance at the party, you know that I need me a payment" reflect the struggles faced by immigrants and their desire for a better life. The mention of "tsismis" (gossip) on Facebook acknowledges the presence of social media in Filipino communities and highlights the singer's indifference to the rumors and drama of others.

The line "I guess that you really keeping it basic" comments on maintaining cultural authenticity instead of conforming to mainstream norms. It suggests a pride in embracing Filipino traditions and flavors rather than trying to assimilate into American culture completely.

The song continues with references to personal achievements and familial ties. The line "Make a way and don't play it safe, and then see where that shit finna take you" encourages taking risks and exploring opportunities to achieve success. It emphasizes the importance of resilience and determination in pursuing dreams.

The lyrics also touch on themes of cultural representation and self-acceptance. The line "I wanna see more dark skin on that TV that my momma watchin'" expresses a desire for greater diversity and representation in media. It reflects a longing for Filipino identity to be celebrated and acknowledged.

The metaphors and symbolism used in the song contribute to its meaning. The image of "Filipino calves" refers to the singer's physical strength but also represents their Filipino roots. The use of language and dialects, such as pointing with lips and eating with hands, signify cultural practices and promote a sense of authenticity and pride.

Overall, "Filipino Road Trip" is a celebratory anthem that highlights the importance of cultural heritage, resilience, and self-worth. It encourages listeners, particularly those who identify as Filipino or have similar immigrant experiences, to embrace their roots, pursue their dreams, and challenge societal expectations. The song's significance lies in its empowerment of individuals to embrace their identity and value their own worth, regardless of external judgments.

How to create a great road trip playlist with sing-along songs!

The window wound down, the stereo cranked up and some awesome tunes you can sing along to; perfection, right? But if you’re anything like us, your phone/iPod is a random mix of all sorts of music- including a Christmas album or 7.

That’s why a road trip playlist is so important- you don’t have to worry if the next tune will be great, you already know it will be! 

  • Make sure the songs are downloaded onto your phone/ ipod. Otherwise, you’re going to use up a lot of data and/ or run the risk of being in an area with bad signal and no music!
  • Like listening to things as you drive? Check out Audible – you can get podcasts, audiobooks and more- it’s a perfect way to pass the time on a long drive.

You might be able to get 3 MONTHS FREE music at Amazon. Click HERE to take advantage 

I’ll be honest- there was some…. let’s call it “discussion”… over the best travel songs to include on this list. My husband prefers classic rock for driving songs. I like songs you can sing along with in the car and songs to drive fast too (NEVER above the speed limit though… right?!)

We compromised on creating a road trip playlist with song choices from all of us, so we hope there’s something in here for you!

So, let’s get to the best road trip songs.

(Update: This post started off as 100 of the best road trip songs… it’s growing as we add more in, so no idea how many are here now!! )

Wow that is a great list. You have a few I had forgotten. Very complete list of all music genre. That is the only problem I have with things like Sirrus and XM you have to select only one type. I love Pandora but as you mentioned DATA, DATA, so Ipod it is for roadtrips.

Thank you! We had a lot of fun writing it and listening to old songs 🙂 Yeah, Data is definitely something worth considering- it can get expensive quickly otherwise!

You missed out poison alive Cooper got to be on

thanks for the information

You’re welcome!

What an awesome song list. Thanks for sharing this list. take care…

You are very welcome- glad you enjoyed it. Happy Road trip!

Great lists. I made playlists on Spotify that can be accessed by anybody. Makes it easy if you have Spotify.

How do I access the playlist that you made

Rockin’ down the highway by The Doobie Brothers

Is there a way to automatically click a link or something so my Apple Music will automatically take and start playing the 150 song list

Wow. Now I have something to do while waiting for lockdown to end. I’ve never heard of some of yours! You won’t have heard of some of mine! Each to his own. I will start with Stones, Clapton, John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, Sonny Boy Williams……….Can’t stop, I’ve got to get my iPod.?

This is a really lovely list. I would also recommend Dead American Presidents’ Peaches for trips through farm country.

I miss the golden Earring with Radar love.

Can’t believe you don’t have and Go-Go’s songs listed!! I can think of a few that are awesome road trip songs !!

What song list to drive faster would not include Deep Purple – Highway Star??? Definitely put your pedal to the metal on that song.

Girl halts boyfriend's singing on the road trip, leaving him confused

Posted: August 18, 2024 | Last updated: August 18, 2024

Logan Hickey and his girlfriend, Taylor, were on an exciting road trip to the beach. As they cruised along the scenic route, they decided to play a favorite song on their phones. Logan, caught up in the joy of the moment, started singing along with enthusiasm. However, things took a hilarious turn when Taylor, not as thrilled with Logan's singing as he was, paused the song on the phone. Despite the music stopping, Logan continued to sing enthusiastically. His reaction when he realized the song had stopped was priceless. Location: Raleigh, United States WooGlobe Ref : WGA701259 For licensing and to use this video, please email [email protected]
