Lyrics:
Hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Tinatanggi ko ang tadhana
na kailangang mawala ka
Handa ako na ulitin sa'yo at aminin

na wala ng iba makahihigit pa
Lahat silang maganda tila magkakamukha
Walang papantay sayo, tunay kagandahan mo

Bakit iniwan mo ako
May mali ba sa sarili ko
Paano iisipin
'Di mo na 'ko kayang tanggapin

Hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Hindi, hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Ang hirap lang mabuhay
Ng ganitong mag-isa
Maaga na ‘kong nagising
Walang madali lalo pag walang pera

Dahil minsan na akong naghirap
Habang sila nakasakay
Ako ‘yung lumalakad ng ilang kilometro
Makauwi lang ng bahay

Gawin mo 'yon ng ilang taon
Magsawa ka ng magisa
Kinaya ko yon ngunit bakit ganon
'Di ko alam ang gagawin ngayon

Hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Hindi, hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Hihintayin, hihintayin
Hihintayin, hihintayin

Sa bawat sandali
Na 'di ka na kapiling
Pinipilit ko, kinakaya ko
Harapin ang totoo

Na wala ka na
At wala ng iba
Makapapalit pa sa pangarap nating
Habang buhay magkasama

Hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Hindi, hindi
Hindi ko kayang umibig muli
Habang-buhay nalang kitang hihintayin

Hihintayin, hihintayin
Hihintayin, hihintayin

Thoughts about the MV:

Seth as the younger version of Ace in parallel universe. In music video it shows how parallel universe works and both of your version fell with the same person. It's true that first love really never dies. Hindi mawawala yung memories na meron ka kasama yung tao na yun na hanggang sa pagtanda mo ay siya lang ang mamahalin mo. It's true that our first love really hits different. Naalala natin sila sa maliit na bagay na ginagawa natin noon. Yung pilit kang nagmo-move forward pero hindi mo magawa kasi nga mahal na mahal mo yung tao kasama na doon yung memories nyo.

Even in parallel universe your other self fell in love with the same person.

Totoo nga siguro yung sinasabi nila noe? Na kapag mahal mo talaga yung isang tao willing kang mag-antay kahit alam mong hindi na ito babalik pa. Masasabi mo na lang sa sarili mo na "Hindi-hindi 'di ko kayang umibig muli habang buhay na kang kitang hihintayin."

Grabe yung chemistry nung FranSeth. Yung titigan nilang dalawa ang nagbigay nung emotion sa MV! Kudos ackkk ❤️

[naih]

Kahit sino talaga bagay kay francine 🥰 ang bait pa tas ang humble din kaya pinagpala ✨ Looks like we will see both of them do project together because they have this chemistry and solid fanbase 💙 at kay Ace din ang galing you really are ace 💕 and ty for choosing franseth on your mv.

[angeltv]

Goosebumps 😳😳 kasi after everything na pinagdaanan nilang dalawa, nag meet din sa wakas 'yong landas nilang dalawa para tawaging LOVETEAM. And wala pa ang dirty linen pero iba na 'yong impact ng first project nila na ito, grabe, tindig balahibo😳😳

[angellabituin]

Good choice for the actors in your MV, maganda yung kanta and maganda yung kwento nung kanta.

[jiji]

What I like about franseth is that their relationship is very low-key. Walang exaggerations, walang pilit moments. And you know that the chemistry is there. They've been really great friends over the time, kahit nung mga oras na iba ang loveteam nila. And maybe that's what makes them special and really effective as a loveteam. Who would've expect na sila pala ang bagay sa isa't isa right? I mean even if I wanted franseth bago pa magkaroon ng franseth, It never really occurred to me na they would be such a perfect pair for each other. And it's really fascinating that we finally have this duo right at the moment.

[mochibeabii]

Ako lang ba dito yung nalaman yung kanta via tiktok? Mas na-appreciate ko sya lalo dahil sa MV. I like how it was interpreted. Ang ganda pa ng cinematography, pwedeng gawing isang full movie yung kanta. Cant deny the fact that FranSeth has a great chemistry. Yung mapapa sana may part 2 ka pa. Ang galing din ni Ace mag-act and of course ang ganda ng song nya. 😌

[altaea]

first of all, grabe!! "muli" is such a good song and probably on my lists for my fave opm songs. second, franseth. wow!! the chemistry and the way they portrayed how the song/the lyrics is superb. sobrang bagay. lalo na yung ganitong cinematography, ang ganda ng pagkaka-execute. pwede silang gumanap sa historical movie. i hope ABS/the management will try to consider it. hindi pa nagsisimula yung dirty linen pero grabe na yung pagtanggap ng mga tao sakanila. huwag silang sayangin ABS please lang. more projects for them ♡

[jinsaavedra]

FRANSETH AND MULI’S LYRICS = MASTERPIECE. grabe iyak ko sa kantang to…

[kathleensethfarillon]

This feels surreal. Dati pinapangarap ko lang na maipair sila. This is my most awaited moment and I still cannot believe😭

[erikajasmindeclaro]

Solid!! Gandaaa nung chemistry ni Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin!! Nangungusap talaga mga mata nila, di nila kelangan magsalita. It’s all in the eyes.

[tams]

Nakita kong trending to sa Twitter kaya napunta ko dito. This MV is giving ILY Since 1892, so gooood. In fairness bagay din talaga tong dalawang to no? Kaya pala dami rin nilang fans and shippers together. ☺☺

[whyme]

I don't understand most of the words but I really feel the emotions. This song is beautiful!

[tmmm]

Can I mention Seth's acting skill? He really proved he is deserving to be one of the casts for this MV and to act the role of the guy na sobrang nasaktan. Mata pa lang niya nangugusap na, very expressive. Kahit walang mga linya, nadeliver niya yung emotion ng song as one of the main characters.

Plus points na lang na pogi talaga siyang bata. Malayo mararating ng batang to. Looking forward sa tandem nya with Francine, grabe chemistry!

[agathacarisse]

I know no one asked but, 1st of all, ang ganda ng kanta. Tagos sa lahat ng tatagusan, pwede mong iyakan kung broken hearted ka, pwede din namang isabay mo sa pagkakahulog mo sa tao, nakakainlove din. Ace, sobrang ganda ng boses mo. Please lang. Keep singing and writing songs. Second, Francine and Seth, i really love their chemistry. So muuuccchh. I saw some clips about FranSeth and I'm beyond elated that they are being paired up. The chemistry is unavoidable. I knew I'm not the only one who noticed this but the way Seth looks at Chin...so much love, longing and it's natural....They would make a great pair. OMG. Manifesting for more projects. I can't breathe. And lastly, please ABS-CBN, alagaan nyo tong loveteam na to. I've never been so fond of ph artist loveteams not until FranSeth existed. And Chin, iloveyou girl! Proud ako sayo

[teltelgee]

The first time I heard the song, hindi ko talaga maintindihan since the patterns of the lyrics are not normally written, it's like a poetic kind of lyrics na very random. But now, the song having its MV. Mas lalo ko naintindihan yung story behind the song and the message.

Having the MV, I realized na this song is not just for the one who is left behind. The song is about the two lovers who love each other so much but still failed to make things work because of certain circumstances. If we are going to observe the place, napakasimple lang ng lugar, meaning napakasimple lang din ng buhay ng mga characters (chin and seth) . The characters seemed to be happy at first but Seth wanted more for Chin, you know the saying na if mahal mo yung tao, gusto mo lahat ibigay sa kaniya. I think Seth wanted to give Chin a better and more comfortable life kaya lang at some point, while he was chasing and making that dream of him come true, he unknowingly left chin behind. Unti-unti siyang pinatay ng mga pangarap niya for Chin, this may explain the change of his outfit from light colored to black. Yung napaka refreshing at napaka light na atmosphere na mayroon sila dati, unti-unting nagbago hanggang sa dumilim na nga ng dumilim. However Chin, doesn't give up easily kaya at some point she became the light of their relationship in the darkest hour of it. She did her best to save Seth pero when she did, she unknowingly lost her own light, meaning napagod siya at unti-unting naubos. At nung panahon na nakita siya ulit ni Seth, it was already too late for him to save her. The scene wherein they both reaching each other's hands speaks about how much they wanted to make their relationship work pero certain circumstances just won't allow them, kaya wala silang nagawa but to accept their different fates which is to be apart. And when everything was over, doon lang nagsink in lahat kay Seth. That's when he started to burn and to light up again which is symbolized by the lighter in the MV. Kaya nga lang sa panahon na nakita na niya ulit yung sarili niya ay siya din namang pagkatanto niya na wala na yung taong mahal niya. He then live his life full of regrets, pain, and longing. The fire that symbolizes their love now became a fire of anger, pain, longing, and torment. It grows each day to the point he couldn't control it anymore. And because of this, the fire end up devouring everything. It devours him as well as the every inch of their beautiful memories together, hanggang sa yun nga wala nang natira... and this kind of story makes the song more painful.

It is much more painful because it reminds us that not all love stories ended just because of third parties. Some Love Stories ended because of life itself. Sabi nga nila falling in love is easy but staying in love is not close to it. May mga taong pinagtatagpo pero di tinatadhana. May mga taong tinatadhana pero umaabot sa point na hindi na sila nagtatagpo. And this kind of love story hurts the most... it started out like a fairytale yet it suddenly turned into a tragedy.

To Seth and Chin, both of you really did well in portraying that kind of love and emotions. The chemistry is on point, and the acting is very captivating, lalo na kay Seth na part. To Ace, congratulations for having a song like this and for having this kind of MV, it is truly nostalgic, refreshing, yet painful. I also applaud how you manifest the emotions of seth's inner or future self. To all the MULI MV team, thank you so much for giving us a beautiful and heart warming craft of yours. We really appreciate it, may all of your works be paid off because of this MV's success <3

I'm from Indonesia🇮🇩, and I really like this song✨✨✨

[therearebillionsofgalaxies]

Bagay si Seth and Francine. They bring out the best in each other like no one else can do. They both have the good looks, wholesome cute image, talent, mass appeal and star quality appeal. If they will stick with each other, they'll flourish and bloom together. Wholesome ang look ni Francine, and Seth is wholesome too! Gwapo, unique and may recall ang appearance ni Seth. So I really hope they'll give each other a chance to make their loveteam official. :) Sana din gumawa pa sila ng more movies together which can be shown internationally. :)

[chewpachups]

proud of you francine and seth! And of course to the one behind this song, Ace. My franseth heart is so happy, thank you for giving them the opprtunity to cast in your MV 💙💙💙

[peepols]

I heard the views froze. Imagine how many views it could have had if it didn't. Regardless, even before its release, I felt this would hit the pot! FranSeth has that power to make us feel in love and heartbroken at the same time. Even without words, look how excellent their portrayals of their roles. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their timing is perfect. The plot and setting are definitely well thought and devised. They just feel so natural. I lost words and shed tears watching this. Kudos as well to Ace's acting and music. Incredible artists indeed! Let's continue to support Filo artists and OPM. 💙
