Filipino nine-piece collective Ben&Ben opened a new era with the release of their first single in 2023 titled "Could Be Something" on June 30.
In "Could Be Something," Ben&Ben combines city pop elements and tropicalia beats with their trademark guitar-driven folk/pop-rock to produce a more electronic-leaning track.
"We wanted the instrumentation and production to capture a more mature kind of hope, so we used slighty darker chords, coupled with tight rhythms, to bring out a unique kind of catharsis for the listener, for our Liwanag," the band said in a statement.
"Together with our co-producers, we built the soundscapes to reflect a lush, yet tighter than ever sound for the band."
Ben&Ben co-produced the song with Timothy Run and Sam Marquez. According to the nine-member band, "Could Be Something" addresses moments of overthinking and overprocessing before someone takes a leap of faith.
"'Could Be Something' is a song about turning doubt into belief. It's the revival of hope after being caught in a very cynical place. It's the feeling you get after meeting someone who unexplainably makes you believe in love again, or finding a new passion that sparks life in you.
"It offers a reminder to believe, surrender, and let go during challenging times."
After the release of "Could Be Something," Ben&Ben also announced a nationwide tour in key cities across the country, performing their newest single. Additionally, the Filipino group will take their song to international audiences with concerts to be held in London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, and Dubai.
"Could Be Something" is now available on all digital streaming platforms.
