Tala,written by Nica del Rosario and Emmanuel Sambayan was originally released in 2016 – and it was already a bop! However, the song, including its choreography became much more popular among Filipino fans with a hashtag #TalaChallenge on social media.
Since the challenge became popular, many fans made its own cover due to its undying popularity and catchy music beat.
Congratulations, Sarah!
