MANILA — P-pop boy group Yes My Love (YML) continues to charm their growing fanbase, fondly called 143s, as they launched their latest single “Don Romantiko,” a song that celebrates modern love with classic OPM flair.
During the launch event, members Niko, Joshua, Brian, Jeff, RZ and Eli expressed their gratitude to fans who have supported them since day one.
“Andito kami ngayon para haranahin aming mga 143 na walang sawang nagsu-support sa amin since day 1,” shared Niko.

According to Joshua, Yes My Love remains grounded in their mission to keep Original Pilipino Music (OPM) alive and relatable.
“Instead of thinking what sets us apart, what we like to think of is, Yes My Love really focuses on OPM, on relatability,” he explained. “We love doing love songs and ballads. Filipinos always go back to those kinds of songs mga hugot, mga kwento ng pag-ibig.”
The group currently has four original songs under their belt and continues to draw inspiration from their audience.
“Every time na sinasabing magkikita kami with our 143s, palagi kaming excited, fired up,” said Niko. “Gusto namin all the time na mag-perform sa harap nila at ibigay ang best namin.”
Yes My Love also expressed admiration for fellow P-pop acts SB19 and BINI, crediting them for paving the way for the genre’s growth.

“Congratulations sa mga groups na na-mention,” said Brian. “For us sa YML, 'yung achievements nila, we feel like achievements din namin. P-pop is growing and they’re our biggest inspiration. Hopefully someday, we can reach what they’ve achieved maybe even more.”
Now officially under Star Music, the group looks forward to creating more songs and sharing them with fans nationwide.
“Thank you po sa Star Music for having us,” said Jeff. “Thank you so much po at pinagkatiwalaan niyo po kami na maging part of your family.”
