Wag Kang Mag-expect, Tanga

Fishy Bishie's song "Wag Kang Mag-expect, Tanga" is a candid and straightforward message about the dangers of unrequited love and the importance of managing one's expectations. The title itself, which translates to "Don't Expect, Fool," sets the tone for the song's blunt advice. The lyrics tell the story of someone who quickly falls for another person just because of a smile or a mention of their name, only to be reminded that these small gestures do not necessarily indicate romantic interest.

The song emphasizes the importance of not assuming that kindness or friendliness equates to romantic feelings. The repeated lines "wag kang mag-expect kasi masasaktan ka lang" (don't expect because you'll just get hurt) and "wag kang mag-assume para hindi ka mag-mukhang tanga" (don't assume so you won't look like a fool) serve as a stern warning. The artist urges the listener to accept reality and move on, highlighting the futility of holding onto false hopes and the self-respect that comes with letting go.

Fishy Bishie uses humor and cultural references, such as the mention of needing all seven Dragon Balls (a nod to the popular anime series "Dragon Ball") to make the impossible happen, to lighten the heavy message. This approach makes the song relatable and engaging while still delivering a serious lesson about self-respect and emotional resilience. The song's directness and use of colloquial language make it accessible and impactful, resonating with anyone who has experienced the sting of unreciprocated affection.
