Mariah Deborah’s ‘Na Para Bang’ enters Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart

Mariah Deborah has achieved a new milestone with her viral hit “Na Para Bang,” becoming the first female OPM artist to have a song enter the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

According to a report by Billboard Philippines, the track landed at No. 106 on the chart dated October 24, 2026.

The Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart tracks the most popular songs across more than 200 territories worldwide, excluding the United States, based on streaming and digital sales data.

Meanwhile, “Na Para Bang” continues to dominate the local music scene, maintaining its No. 1 position on both the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 and Top Philippine Songs charts.

In a previous interview with Billboard Philippines, Mariah shared that she had already sensed the song’s potential for success even while she was still writing it.

“To be completely honest, I was just still writing ‘Na Para Bang,’ I already had a gut feeling that this single would do wonders [for] my career. I wrote it during the peak of the expression, ‘na para bang.’ Everyone I knew was using it in their everyday conversations, so I thought it would be fun to turn this very familiar Filipino phrase into a song,” she said.

The singer also believed that the song’s relatable theme of developing romantic feelings for a friend would resonate with Filipino listeners.

“So when I released it last February, I genuinely expected it to have the potential to go viral. Not just because the title was catchy, but because I knew the lyrics were very relatable. Filipinos are such big yearners, and we also really value our friendships. The song is about having feelings for a friend and being scared that admitting those feelings might change the friendship, and I felt like that was an experience a lot of people could see themselves in,” she stated.

The singer also revealed that the song was inspired by her personal experience of unexpectedly developing feelings for someone within her circle of friends.

“And because I didn’t really know what to do with all of those feelings, I did what I do best. I wrote about it. Writing became the way I processed the confusion, the fear, and the frustration of wanting something more while also being terrified of losing what we already had. That eventually became ‘Na Para Bang,'” she relayed.
