The acclaimed folk-pop collective transforms a fan favorite into an uplifting anthem of emotional growth and resilience.
Following the commercial success of “Lifetime (Reimagined),” which peaked at No. 1 on both the Official Philippines Chart and Billboard Philippines Hot 100, Ben&Ben returns with “Autumn (Reimagined),” a vital reworking of their beloved 2023 original.
Reimagined with a richer sonic palette, the new version elevates the band’s gold-hued sound with atmospheric textures and soaring instrumentation. The result is a compellingly familiar release that balances emotional weight with fuller arrangements.
Paolo Benjamin adds, “Dinagdagan namin ng mas maraming electric guitars, synth layers, violin lines, at mas madiin na beat yung kanta, para magka-contrast yung bigat ng emotion sa pagka-upbeat ng tugtog.”
Outside of its alt-leaning production, “Autumn (Reimagined)” delivers a mature and vulnerable take on longing, backed by new verses that focus on healing and learning to choose one’s self.
“Kung yung Lifetime ay pagluksa sa pag-ibig na di naman nangyari, yung Autumn ay yung pagsubok umusad kahit mahirap,” Paolo shares.
The newly released track is part of an audio bundle containing both the original and reimagined versions of “Autumn” and “Lifetime.” According to the band, the project was intentionally packed as an EP-like release to immerse their fanbase, Liwanag, in a place of “bittersweetness,” reflection, and yearning.
As Paolo puts it, “Sa totoo lang, na-excite lang kaming ituloy yung kwento sa Liwanag, para magkaroon ng mas malalim na kahulugan at mas maraming karamay yung journey ng pagproseso ng emosyon.” He adds, “We hope that they find this song painfully uplifting.”
Ben&Ben’s “Autumn (Reimagined)” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the lyric video premiering at 6PM today.
