Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that leave the deepest mark on our hearts. Filipino balladeer Christian Bautista and Indonesian pop icon Raisa capture this very sentiment in their latest single, “Rainbow.” Their newly released music video is a gentle reminder that hope, connection, and happiness often live in the ordinary moments we might overlook.
A Quiet Moment in Jakarta
Shot in a cozy café in Jakarta, the music video showcases both artists enjoying a calm escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Christian Bautista explains that the concept is about finding “the rainbows” in everyday life—those small sparks of joy that can truly brighten a day.
Directed by Jonathan Tal Placido of Toothless Productions, the team traveled to Jakarta to bring this vision to life. According to Bautista, the video beautifully conveys the song’s message through a mix of cinematic elegance and heartfelt storytelling.
Celebrating Everyday Beauty
The music video mirrors the song’s warmth, inviting viewers to savor life’s little pleasures: sharing coffee with friends, laughing across the table, and simply being present. Each frame encourages us to pause and recognize the quiet joys that are often taken for granted.
Beyond the everyday moments, “Rainbow” celebrates cultural harmony. The collaboration bridges Filipino and Indonesian artistry, and filming in Jakarta adds authenticity, texture, and emotional depth to the visuals. “The city helped us reflect the connection the song celebrates,” Bautista shares.
Chemistry on and Off Stage
Christian Bautista and Raisa first performed together during a 13-city ASEAN concert in Japan, where their friendship and stage chemistry began to flourish. Their rapport translates naturally on screen, making the music video feel intimate and genuine.
Bautista recalls that scheduling was the biggest challenge, but once everything aligned, the result was deeply rewarding. “Seeing it all come together after months of planning was such a special moment,” he says.
Finding Joy in Small Moments
“Rainbow” is more than a music video, it’s a celebration of everyday beauty and the subtle, unspoken bonds that unite people across borders. Bautista and Raisa remind us that joy doesn’t always come from grand gestures; sometimes, it shines brightest in life’s smallest details.
The single “Rainbow” is now streaming on all major platforms via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video on Christian Bautista’s official YouTube channel.
