Salamin, Salamin
2024 single by Bini
"Salamin, Salamin" (lit. 'Mirror, Mirror') is a song recorded by Filipino girl group Bini. It is a bubblegum pop and funk song with a prominent groovy bassline. The lyrics reference fairytales, with the narrator asking her magic mirror when her crush will notice her. Star Music released "Salamin, Salamin" as the third and lead single of Bini's first extended play (EP) Talaarawan on March 8, 2024.
"Salamin, Salamin" became one of Bini's most popular songs and peaked at number one on the Billboard Philippines Songs chart on June 8, 2024. In February 2025, Tatler Asia recognized the ubiquity of "Salamin, Salamin" in the Philippines throughout the year of 2024, along with "Pantropiko" (lit. 'Tropical'), the previously released single from Talaarawan. The inaugural Official Philippines Chart, launched on February 19, also acknowledged "Salamin, Salamin" as 2024's top four local song, based on aggregate data collected from Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and YouTube Music.
