Ben&Ben are releasing their first single of 2026, entitled “Duyan.”
First teased by the band on January 5, 2026 (Monday), the new song from the Filipino folk-pop hitmakers is set to come out on January 22, 2026 (Thursday) at 6:00 PM (PHT). After initially teasing the song, the band then revealed that the song will be the third track in a series of love songs that began with “Pagtingin” and “Araw-Araw” — two songs from Ben&Ben’s debut album Limasawa Street, released in 2019.
In a separate Instagram post, a snippet of the song can be heard, with the band revealing that the song is about a love between two people that stands the test of time, staying strong even in the face of challenges and continuing to choose each other everyday. “Para sa inyo ‘to. Naniniwala kami na may pag-ibig na dapat pinaglalaban. May pag-ibig na nananatili kahit magbago man ang panahon (This is for you. We believe that there’s a love that should be fought for. There’s a love that stay even if the seasons change,” stated the band.
Alongside this, Ben&Ben have also teased the involvement of Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos in the song’s release. The two actors, who have been together in a long-term relationship in real life, previously starred in the narrative music videos for “Pagtingin” and “Araw-Araw,” with “Duyan” supposedly set to continue the love story of their characters.
“Duyan” is the follow-up to Ben&Ben’s previous release, entitled “Heaven” — a collaboration single with Thai indie rock band Tilly Birds, which came out on September 25, 2025.
In other news, Ben&Ben’s drummer Jam Villanueva announced last December 12, 2025 that 2026 will be her last year with the band. In a three-minute video, she looked back fondly on the past eight years with the band and revealed the reasons that led to her decision to step down from the band. Read her full statement here.
