Filipino folk-pop band Ben&Ben has unveiled a reimagined version of their popular 2023 song “Autumn” as anticipation builds for their upcoming major concert, “Saranggola: The Concert,” scheduled for October 2 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila. This latest release continues the band’s recent trend of revisiting and reinterpreting their earlier hits, offering fans fresh perspectives and emotional depth.
Originally released in 2023, “Autumn” first captured listeners with its poignant themes of longing and change, reflecting on the complexities of long-distance relationships and the emotional distance that seasons symbolize. The song gained further attention when Ben&Ben collaborated with actress-singer Belle Mariano to record a duet version for the soundtrack of the popular series “Can’t Buy Me Love.” Now, with the reimagined edition, the band presents a gentler and more hopeful take on the track.
“Autumn (Reimagined)” shifts focus from yearning for rekindled love to embracing personal peace and acceptance. The new lyrics explore confronting reality with courage and finding one’s own path after loss. Lines such as “In the morning light, when the pain subsides / I’ll face this truth with my own two eyes / From the fallen trees of your aftermath / I’ll find my peace, I will find my path” highlight this evolved message. The updated arrangement features a more expansive sound that complements the emotional growth expressed in the lyrics.
This release is part of an EP compiling several reimagined versions of Ben&Ben’s songs, following the success of “Lifetime (Reimagined),” which also resonated widely with fans through its deeper emotional layers and fresh verses. The band’s ability to reinvent their music has sparked renewed streaming success and social media buzz, drawing both longtime followers and new listeners alike.
Alongside this musical release, Ben&Ben announced ticket sales details for “Saranggola: The Concert.” Tickets will be available starting May 10 through TicketNet outlets nationwide and online. Prices range from PHP 1,500 for General Admission to PHP 10,000 for VVIP tickets, which include exclusive perks such as soundcheck experience and a merchandise package. The concert title comes from their 2025 single “Saranggola,” a heartfelt tribute to friendship’s enduring power amid life’s changes.
With over 9.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Ben&Ben has established itself as one of the Philippines’ leading folk-pop groups. Their signature songs like “Pagtingin,” “Araw-Araw,” and “Maybe The Night” have earned widespread acclaim. The reimagined “Autumn” underscores the band’s evolving artistry as they prepare to deliver an unforgettable live performance later this year.
Fans eagerly await “Saranggola: The Concert” not only for its musical offerings but also for the nostalgic and hopeful atmosphere promised by these refreshed versions of beloved songs. Ben&Ben’s journey through themes of love, loss, friendship, and renewal continues to resonate deeply across generations.
