James Reid and Kathryn Bernardo explore unspoken confessions in “Aaminin,” a romantic pop ballad that serves as the new official theme song of the hit teleserye Someone, Someday.
Lyrically inspired by the familiar yet complicated territory of falling for a close friend, “Aaminin” captures the longing, vulnerability, and uncertainty that can change a relationship forever. Opening with James’ intimate line, “Nung una pa lang, pansin ko naman na ’di pang-magkaibigan lang,” the song immediately draws listeners into the realization that friendship may have become something more.
The track grew out of James’ intention to create an original song inspired by the series, particularly Jordan's perspective as he deals with his feelings for Billy, portrayed by Kathryn. After a discussion with director Chad Vidanes, James worked on the lyrical concept as a confession shaped by the character’s evolving romantic relationship.
“I thought writing a song from Jordan’s perspective could be interesting,” James shares. “I teamed up with Jason Marvin to make this song, and we had finished it in hopes that we could get Kathryn to sing on the track, and I’m very grateful that she did. The process didn’t require much thought because we have been close to these characters for almost a year. It’s a simple yet beautiful song, and our vocals blended really well.”
Having spent nearly a year immersed in their characters, James and Kathryn brought an intimate understanding of Jordan and Billy’s emotional journey to the recording process. Their voices blend and soar effortlessly, giving the song the authenticity it needs.
Honesty has become the guiding principle behind the songwriting, according to James. Working with Jason, who also produced the track, he drew on the series’ script and character breakdowns, along with personal emotions, to create a song that feels unfiltered and sincere. Its stripped-down arrangement evokes the vulnerability of a bedroom confession, allowing the lyrics and performances to carry the weight of everything left unsaid.
“Aaminin is a song about hope and trusting your feelings, wherever they may lead,” James says.
