Heard of the record-breaking electronic dance hit by award-winning actress Marian Rivera? If not, have a look at the opening credits of the crime-thriller drama “What Lies Beneath” and listen closely to the eerie whistles that accompany the images of the main cast on screen.
The feel-good, rhythm-packed “Sabay Sabay Tayo” has been a recurring trend not only in real life but also in the fictional world of “What Lies Beneath,” where Erica (Kaila Estrada), Alice (Janella Salvador), Beth (Charlie Dizon), and Mel (Sue Ramirez) turn to the song to soothe themselves in moments of bittersweet nostalgia—even Edong (Jake Cuenca) adds his haunting rendition, tinged with looming vengeance.
Serving fans with clarity flashes and “AHA!” discoveries, ABS-CBN Studios’ production unit RCD Narratives released clips of the leading ladies—Sue Ramirez, Janella Salvador, Charlie Dizon, and Kaila Estrada—all lined up, channelling their girl-group realness to the song.
Dressed in elegant styles, Janella and Charlie share energized moves, Sue keeps the mood-boosting momentum going, and Kaila exudes an adorable, shy-girl charm.
Riding along, Mel’s PR team, Tim and Tom—portrayed by Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez—also project their star qualities, remaining classy, sleek, and entertaining as they dance to the retro single.
Completing the smile-inducing vibes of the song and known for providing comedic relief in every episode, Jewel Milag (who plays Chloe Mora) and Lawrence dela Cruz (who plays Josh) step out of their playful antics and banter to team up for the dance craze.
Don’t miss snippets and creative renditions of the song in “What Lies Beneath,” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, TV5, and iWant.
