“Saranggola is inspired by the ever-changing seasons amongst a group of friends. It is about the fleeting nature of youth and the reality that while we may not always be ready for change, we eventually learn to embrace it. What has passed becomes something worth appreciating, both in the present and in hindsight. Coming from just having recorded and worked on a whole album, the experience of working on this song came by fairly smoothly. Everyone focused on their own experience of what this song means to them, while maintaining a balance between melancholy, nostalgia, energy, and grit.” ~Ben&Ben shares in a collective statement

Fresh off the success of their heartfelt ballad “Tomorrow With You,” Ben&Ben returns with “Saranggola,” a moving tribute to the enduring power of friendship amidst life’s inevitable changes.
Exploring themes of nostalgia, emotional connection, and change, the anthemic song reflects on cherished moments shared with friends while acknowledging the inevitability of growing apart. But amidst shifting seasons and distances, the track affirms how love and respect remain steadfast.
The song made its debut this week in an episode of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition and will be featured in the upcoming deluxe edition of The Traveller Across Dimensions, set for release in 2025.

Written
by Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin, and arranged and produced
by the whole band in collaboration with long-time friend and producer Ziv, “Saranggola” marks a graceful return to form: reminiscent of their earlier
works, yet imbued with the artistic depth and growth that they’ve nurtured over
the years.
The
multi-awarded band takes a minimalist approach at the outset with just an acoustic
guitar, a cajon, and all nine members singing in unison, before gradually
building into a soaring, guitar-driven jam worthy of a barkada sing-along.
Beyond
the music, the track holds deep personal meaning for Ben&Ben. As they
describe it, the song symbolizes their shared journey of “listening to the
winds of fate and grasping the present moment.”
The
nine-piece collective adds, “It's a reflection of the years we've spent
together thus far and a reminder of the importance of every now and then going
back to and rediscovering your roots.”
Ben&Ben’s “Saranggola”
is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music
Entertainment. Keep an eye out for the release of the song's
visualizer on the band's official
YouTube channel at 6 pm.
