From Quirky Beginnings to Empowering Debut:
BINI’s journey began with a taste of their fun-loving personalities. Their pre-debut single, “Da Coconut Nut,” was a playful introduction, hinting at the lighthearted charm that would become a signature element of their music. However, it was their official debut in June 2021 with “Born to Win” that truly marked their arrival. This anthem, filled with empowering lyrics about chasing dreams and defying limitations, resonated with audiences, solidifying BINI’s image as a group with a positive message that everyone could connect with.
The Viral Phenomenon of “Pantropiko” and Beyond:
The release of their first full album, “Planet BINI ~ (the dazzle of brilliance),” catapulted BINI to national recognition. This record featured the infectious “Pantropiko,” a song that perfectly captured the group’s vibrant energy. With its catchy melody and playful choreography, “Pantropiko” sparked a viral dance craze on TikTok and Instagram, turning BINI into a household name and a social media sensation.
