Dolce Amore is a popular Philippine television series that aired from February to August 2016. (Wow, I never though we would go this international.) It starred Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil as the lead characters. The show follows the love story of Serena, a privileged Italian heiress, and Tenten, a hardworking Filipino boy, as they navigate the challenges of their different backgrounds and find love amidst their contrasting worlds.

The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Theme Song
If you must know, I am from the Philippines, so here’s a little tribute to the motherland. Also, Theme Songs is back!
I rarely watch local shows but this one is an exception. I’ve always loved The Biggest Loser franchise so when I found out the Philippines (there was already an Asian version) was coming up with one—and in a time slot that is quite convenient for me—I could not help but watch. At the time of posting this, the show is about to enter the top 10.
The theme for the show is very catchy. Its actual title is “Sabay Tayo“, and not “Magpapayat” as I (and I’m sure some of you did) originally thought. The song is by the band Mayonnaise; quite funny actually as I’m sure there’s an inside joke there somewhere (lead singer Monty Macalino can be a contestant—no offense and I actually do know Monty personally). I’m pretty sure he also is responsible for the writing.
The song is not (yet?) part of any commercial release.
In addition, knowing Monty, I’m sure it’s no coincidence the riff sounds exactly like Rivermaya’s “Elesi” (see video below).
Below is the official video of “Sabay Tayo”.
Below is Riveramaya’s “Elesi”.

Kamusta ka, aking kaibigan?
O pwede mo ba akong samahan na?Tumalon (nang mataas)
Sumigaw (nang malakas)
Yumugyog (sumayaw)
Tumakbo (at gumalaw)
Tara na (sumama ka)
Wag kanang (mag-alala)
Eto na, sabay tayo magpapayatWag kanang mag dahilan
Kasi lalo lang lumalaki ang ating tiyanTumalon (nang mataas)
Sumigaw (nang malakas)
Yumugyog (sumayaw)
Tumakbo (at gumalaw)
Tara na (sumama ka)
Wag kanang (mag-alala)
Eto na, sabay tayo magpapayatO di ba kayang kaya
Basta’t dapat lang laging masaya kaTumalon (nang mataas)
Sumigaw (nang malakas)
Yumugyog (sumayaw)
Tumakbo (at gumalaw)

Yumugyog (sumayaw)
Tumakbo (at gumalaw)
Tara na (sumama ka)
Wag kanang (mag-alala)
Heto na, sabay tayo magpapayat

Boys Over Flowers Theme Song
Jesus Christ; just because I’m Filipino (which doesn’t make sense because Boys Over Flowers is Korean)
The idea came to me when, upon checking this blog’s statistics, I got a referral from someone searching the above keywords. For some reason, a post in this blog combined “boys,” “over” and “flowers,” and was good enough to be considered as a search result.
So anyway, enough ranting about posting something I despise. After all, a man’s gotta eat. The theme song you are looking for is most probably the one by the group Tree Bicycles entitled “One More Time.” Filipinos, that I believe is the one repeatedly shown in commercials. Another one even I am familiar with is the one by T-Max entitled “Paradise.”
Whichever one you consider as the “theme song” is not of interest to me, however, you should know that there is a Boys Over Flowers OST (Original Soundtrack) which contains 13 songs.
- T-Max – Paradise
- SS501 – My Thoughts Are Bad
- Someday – Do You Know
- SHINee – Stand By Me
- Ashily – Lucky
- Kim Yoo Kyung – Starlight Tears
- Suh Ji Young – A Little
- Tree Bicycles – One More Time
- Lee Jung Sik – I Know (Instrumental)
- Dance with Me (Instrumental)
- Blue Flower (Instrumental)
- So Sad (Instrumental)
- T-Max – Opening Title (Intro)
One More Time
Paradise
About Boys Over Flowers
Dear Koreans, for some reason some of us love your shows (translated into our own language) more than our own. It happened with Mexican shows, Chinese (which include the original Meteor Garden), and now yours. You should feel (at least) proud, as we now not only teach you English, we also patronize your hip-ness.
