NIOR releases new single 'BNT' for the lovesick
You can now listen to NIOR’s new single, 'BNT!’
Heartbroken or head over heels? NIOR’s new single is officially for you!
Composed of Brian Nucup (rhythm guitar/vocals), Gabrielle Van Polanen Petel (vocals), Jessie Ocampo (drums), Paul Tanchiato (lead guitar), and Christian Cervera Mallari (bass), the OPM band just dropped their new single, “BNT,” under AltG Records on Friday, January 30.
“BNT” is now available for download and streaming on digital platforms worldwide.
The new single, “BNT”, which stands for “Buhay ng Tanga,” was written by vocalist Brian Nucup, who shared that it was inspired by his personal experience of loving someone deeply.
“So, medyo ano siya, straightforward 'di ba? Noong sinusulat ko siya, I felt like ako ‘yung tangang ‘yun. It was based [on] an experience,” he shared.
He added, “Exaggerated, pero it was something real.”
After writing the song, Brian realized it had become a form of advice to himself.
Furthermore, he wanted to send a message to those who have poured their hearts out for people who couldn’t give even an ounce of effort in return.
“Ang message ko lang doon, for myself and for people, is to stop being tanga. Huwag tayong magpakatanga sa mga bagay na hindi naman dapat. Hindi worth it,” he said.
Previously, NIOR released their single “Giliw” on September 19, 2025.
The band debuted in August 2023 with their first single, “Formosa.”
