Asia's Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista has finally released the much-awaited music video for his new single "Rainbow," featuring Indonesian singer-songwriter Raisa. The song is a revival of Filipino band Southborder's classic.

Filmed in an idyllic café in Jakarta, the music video was directed by Jonathan Tal Placido of Toothless Productions. It unfolds with both artists savoring a quiet reprieve from the bustling chaos of modern city life.

“The video is about how the simplest, most ordinary moments in our day can actually become the 'rainbows' we need -- small sparks of hope that make a big difference,” shared Christian Bautista in a statement.

The “Rainbow” MV mirrors the song's lyrical warmth with cinematic grace. Every frame invites viewers to rediscover fulfillment hidden within everyday experiences: coffee shared between friends, laughter exchanged across a table, and the peace found in simply being present.

Beyond its narrative, “Rainbow” also celebrates harmony between cultures. The collaboration between Christian and Raisa bridges Filipino and Indonesian artistry, and the choice to film in Jakarta infuses the visuals with an authentic sense of place and emotional truth.

“The city added warmth, texture, and authenticity to the visuals and helped us reflect the connection the song celebrates,” the All-Out Sundays star explained.

Christian and Raisa first worked together in a recent 13-city ASEAN concert in Japan for more than a month, where they got to share the stage as fellow performers. Their chemistry in the project both as performers and friends translates effortlessly on screen, adding sincerity to the music video's heartwarming storytelling.

“It was so exciting,” Bautista added of working with Raisa once more. “Our biggest challenge was really scheduling -- but once it finally happened, we were both thrilled to bring this project to life. Seeing it all come together after months of planning was such a rewarding moment.”

“Rainbow” by Christian Bautista and Raisa is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video below.
