Di Na Muli was written in 2016 by songwriting partners Jazz Nicolas and Wally Acolola. They entered the song into the 5th PhilPop Music Festival, performed by The Itchyworms, where it won the grand prize. In 2018, the song was given new life in the official soundtrack of the film Sid & Aya (Not A Love Story) (Viva Films, directed by Irene Villamor). Somewhere in between PhilPop and Sid & Aya, the Itchyworms set out to immortalize the song. The result was a visually stunning and emotional music video directed by Paolo Abella and Juno Oebanda. Being a friend of the Itchyworms, Oebanda had approached the band to present the concept for the video. He sought the generous indulgence of none other than the Cultural Center of the Philippines, citing the video as a tribute to Teddy Hilado, his uncle, recognized as the father of lighting design in Philippine theater. The song's themes of love, loss, and words left unspoken, are embodied in the elegant performances of Rosky Balahadia Hilado (Teddy's widow, formerly of the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company) and Carissa Adea (Ballet Philippines), and in the video's sweeping visuals, all captured within the hallowed halls of the CCP. The music video seeks to serve as loving tribute to Teddy, whose influence is still felt and recognized to this day. The Itchyworms are now proud to share what is probably the first-ever music video shot inside the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and extend heartfelt thanks to those who helped bring the music video to fruition.
