Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko
"Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko" is a disco song by the Filipino group VST & Company. Although released only as a B-side of the ballad "Ikaw ang Aking Mahal", it is one of group's biggest hits in the country. The lyrics were penned by Joey de Leon and its melody by Vic Sotto and arranged by Lorrie Illustre. Recorded at Cinema Audio in 1978.
De Leon revealed in an interview with Lourd de Veyra on the show Wasak that Sotto sang the melody to him via telephone and he quickly wrote the lyrics. Librettist and Filipina actress Bibeth Orteza recalls that she was present during the recording of this song and said that she told Vic Sotto about the material, Sotto said to her that there is no way she can present it as a contemporary.
In December 2016, Ballet Philippines' new dance musical of the same name featured VST & Company songs.
