"Pano" on YouTube |
"Pano" (lit. 'How') is a song by Filipino singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo from his third studio album, 3rd Time's a Charm (2023).[1] It was released to music and streaming platforms on December 6, 2021, via Island Records Philippines and UMG Philippines. Self-written and produced by Tabudlo, the lyrics allude to self-pity and questioning one's unrequited love.[2]
"Pano" is described as a R&B with minimal instruments, a slight departure from Tabudlo's sound in his debut album, Episode (2021). The song was a commercial success, becoming the longest-running number-one OPM song on Spotify Philippines. It also became the first number-one song to debut on Billboard's Philippines Songs chart, staying at its peak for eleven weeks. Internationally, the track charted in other Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as other nations globally through Spotify Viral 50.[3][4]
An accompanying lyric video for the song was uploaded to YouTube simultaneously with the single's release, becoming Tabudlo's most viewed video on the platform. After gaining prominence on TikTok, a music video was released on October 3, 2022, as the first part of a trilogy.[5] Tabudlo performed "Pano" during several live performances, including Expo 2020 Dubai, We the Fest Jakarta, and Head in the Clouds Manila. It has been covered by several local and international artists and was used as the theme song for What We Could Be (2022).
