"Magsayawan" (English: Let's Dance) is a song recorded by the Filipino disco group VST & Company, written by the songwriting team of Charo Unite and Ernie dela Peña.[2] It was one of the group's biggest hits in the Philippines and was the only hit single not written by the group's principal songwriters, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon.
It was recorded at Cinema Audio and released on the group's first album, VST, in 1978.[3] Although only released as a B-side of "Disco Fever", this song was one of the group's popular hits.[4] The song's music video is in the 1979 film Swing It, Baby with other VST songs by Vilma Santos, Romeo Vasquez, Amy Austria, Tito and Vic & Joey.
