about

Speaking to the single, Toronto-based filmmaker and Pantayo collaborator Tricia Hagoriles says;

"With the visceral use of only gongs, drums and vocals, One More Latch (Give It To ’Ya) feels like an homage to women musicians in the 90s that wrote or performed songs about their own sexual desires (ie. TLC’s Creep and Janet Jackson’s That’s the Way Love Goes). Which, for an all-women Filipina band near-explicitly, expressing sexual desire, is a point of subversion in itself.

Overt sexualization and fetishization that is grounded in white supremacist, racist, sexist, and classist objectification has always had a taxing effect on Asian women. For Filipinas in Canada and other diasporic communities, the experience trickles into their daily lives in specific ways; gendered marginalization due to labor (ie. caregiving), occupying the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder, hypervisibility in occupations such as nurse or nanny, and mail order brides in the 1980s. And when you consider Queer spaces, the Filipina can be rendered invisible. As objects of desire and imposed tropes under a white supremacist gaze, Filipinas are seen as powerless and disposable.

One More Latch (Give It To ’Ya) IS a BOP of a hookup song, but it’s also a reclamation of desire. As Pantayo speaks about the writing process, the song came from an unabashedly lusty place. The song and the upcoming music video will be about owning carnal instincts, overcoming the shame of wanting and being wanted, redefining desirability and sensuality beyond a physical and one-sided realm."

lyrics

I wanna love you
I wanna hold you
Feel you and taste you
If you’d let me take you

Baby let's be alone
We can take it slow
Only you should know
These lips aren’t
Just made for
Talking

I wanna give it to ’ya

I wanna love you
I wanna hold you
Feel you and taste you
If you’d let me take you

Baby let's be alone
We can take it slow
Only you should know
These lips aren’t
Just made for
Talking

I wanna give it to ’ya

Kulintang solo

I wanna give it ’ya
These lips are waiting
Not made for talking
Lets be alone

I wanna give it to ’ya
