Singaporean singer Iman Fandi is stepping into a new era with the release of her latest single, “IT IS,” across digital music platforms.

Released on August 21, 2026, the confident, playful track marks another milestone in her journey as an independent artist, while also introducing her to Filipino audiences through a series of social media collaborations with two rising names in the Philippine music scene.

Ahead of the release, Fandi connected with P-pop girl group KAIA, with members Angela, Charice, Sophia, Alexa, and Charlotte vibing with the Singaporean artist to a snippet of “IT IS” on a TikTok video. The collaboration adds a fun preview of the song’s energy while introducing the new track to Filipino fans.

Fandi also teamed up with RAMONA, the musical alter ego of actress-turned-singer Andrea Brillantes. The pair joined the viral Filipino dance trend “Wag Ipagsabi” by Bert Symoun and Dreycruz, giving fans another taste of the 26-year-old singer’s growing connection with the Philippines.

Her latest single, “IT IS,” centers on feminine confidence and self-worth, knowing when to let actions speak louder than words. With a teasing twist, Fandi playfully nods to the people who always wonder whether a song is about them, because as she puts it: “If you think it is about you, maybe it is.”

The single follows her 2026 releases “Tip Toes” and “Out Of My Mind” and builds toward her debut EP, Afterglow.

The Singaporean artist met the Filipino acts in Singapore during the NBA Rising Stars Invitational, where the encounter eventually led to their recent social media collaborations.

In other relevant news, KAIA recently released, “hulog,” adding another track to their growing discography. Meanwhile, RAMONA is steadily building her own musical identity with “Laguna,” following her attention-grabbing debut “GAGA.”
