Background
On February 15, 2025, during the Grand Biniverse: The Valentine Repeat concert, the first show of the Biniverse World Tour 2025, Bini announced the release of an upcoming EP.[1][2] A teaser snippet previewed six tracks, including "Cherry on Top", its "BiniMo" remix with Agnez Mo, and "Blink Twice".[3][4] The singles had previously been released in 2024 and 2025 as promotional tracks for the mini-album.[5][6] A collaboration with Korean-American singer eaJ was also included in the EP.[7]
Composition
Marking the group's first all-English project, Biniverse has been musically described to be a collection of six tracks spanning several genres including synth-pop, Europop, 90s-inspired R&B, and disco-pop.[8][9] The EP opens with the single "Blink Twice", which explores newer sounds from R&B-pop and 2000s-inspired pop.[10][6] "Zero Pressure" continues the record as an 80s-inspired synth-pop anthem centered on themes of ambition and perseverance.[11] The track "Secrets", which houses a collaboration with eaJ, is described as being about trust and vulnerability in relationships, while "Out of My Head" depicts the rush of falling in love.[11] "Cherry on Top", followed by its "BiniMo" remix featuring Agnez Mo, closes the EP as a bubblegum pop song with a UK garage beat.[12][13]

The EP's lead single, "Cherry on Top", was released on July 11, 2024.[8] The song peaked at number six on the Philippines Hot 100.[14] The "BiniMo" remix version of the song, which features Indonesian singer Agnez Mo, was released on October 3.[15] "Blink Twice" was released as the EP's next single on February 13, 2025, two weeks before Biniverse's February 27 release date.[10] It peaked at number seven on the Philippines Hot 100.[16] The song also debuted on foreign component charts, including placements at number 24 on New Zealand's RMNZ Hot Singles Chart and number 27 on the United Kingdom's OCC UK Singles Downloads Chart, among others.[17][18]
