You'll Be Safe Here is an EP by OPM band Rivermaya that features the eponymous song first used as the theme song of the 2005 ABS-CBN TV show Spirits.[1] It has two music videos, where the second video used an advanced technology that translates the song's lyrics. This song was also played at the 2006 MTV Asia Awards, where Rivermaya was the only Filipino band to perform in the show.
The song reached #1 on the Philippine music charts during its release. Two years after its release, it gained popularity in Asia and was then slated for a European release.
The song "Liwanag Sa Dilim (Kaya mo 'to)" was previously released as a single on the "Repackaged" version of their album Between the Stars and Waves. It was also used as a jingle in a Pepsi commercial and later on in an LBC Express ad that had the tagline "Basta Abot ng Araw, Abot ng LBC Remit Express".[2]
The song "Imbecilesque" on the EP was previously recorded for their 2000 album Free.

"Liwanag sa Dilim" in Leni Robredo's presidential campaign
On 8 February 2022, the remaining members of Rivermaya appeared at Leni Robredo's proclamation rally in Naga City, signaling the start of Robredo's 2022 campaign, and performed "Liwanag sa Dilim".[3] The following day, Robredo's daughter Jillian uploaded an Instagram video post with the song on the background.[4] Rivermaya's appearance at the rally would be the first of many appearances the band would make throughout the campaign, in which "Liwanag sa Dilim" virtually became the anthem for Robredo's supporters.[5][6][7][8][9] On 17 April, Rivermaya created a new music video for the song, with Yeng Constantino on vocals and featuring volunteers and other celebrities involved in the Robredo campaign.[10][11][12] On 26 April, another video with the song, featuring various celebrity musicians and singers led by singer Regine Velasquez, was released to further support the last days of the campaign.[13][14]
