Lab Songs Ng Mga Tanga (stylized in all lowercase) (lit. Love Songs for Fools) is the debut studio album by Filipino singer-songwriter Janine Berdin. Released on September 26, 2025, under Island Records Philippines, it marks Berdin's first full-length album since entering the music industry after winning the second season of Tawag ng Tanghalan in 2018.[2]

The album represents a departure from her earlier traditional pop ballads, shifting toward alternative rock, pop-punk, and hugot rock.

Background and themes

Berdin announced the album during a press conference on September 14, 2025.[3] According to Berdin, the album serves as an unfiltered, honest compilation of stories exploring toxic relationships, situationships, and heartbreak, stating she wanted to create music that functioned like a "best friend" for people embarrassed to share their relationship struggles with others.[4][5]

Musically, critics noted that the album channels the grit and raw energy of early-2000s OPM icons like Yeng Constantino, Kitchie Nadal, and Barbie Almalbis.

Promotion and singles

The album was preceded by several singles. The track "Sitwasyonship" was released in 2023 and became a viral hit. In 2025, Berdin released "Ayos Lang" and "Tayo Lang (May Alam)" featuring Illest Morena and Fana, the latter achieving over a million views on its music video within a month. On September 15, 2025, "Hayup Ka" was released as the lead promotional single alongside the formal album announcement.[6][7] She's also collaborated with Ruffa Mae Quinto for the single's music video.[8]

Following its release, the track "What if I miss you for the rest of my life?" entered the Spotify Viral Top 50 Philippines chart. By early 2026, the album had accumulated over 25 million streams.[9]
