Giving an early 2000s hit their own sassy twist, rising P-pop girl group Sugar N’ Spice have dropped their latest single, “Paligaw-Ligaw Tingin.”
The newly released track arrived on July 10, 2026 as the seven-member act’s second release of the year. Creating their fresh, upbeat take on the 2002 viral hit by Filipina singer Ashley, Sugar N’ Spice take us on a trip down memory lane, with a rendition that honors the song’s original era while giving it a modern spin.
Composed by Arnie Mendaros, “Paligaw-Ligaw Tingin” served as the definitive romantic anthem of the early 2000s, exploring bashful romantic attraction and unsaid feelings. Sugar N’ Spice reimagines the track through their signature sweet-and-sassy concept, trading in the slower, reserved sound of the original with a bubbly, dance-pop production.
By incorporating a more confident vocal delivery and a punchier melody, the seven-member group shifts the perspective of the song, pulling the focus from its initial frustration with unrequited crushes to a feeling of excitement with the chase.
Serving as Vicor Music’s newest P-pop girl group, Sugar N’ Spice are comprised of members Angel, Suzanne, Kaye, Maria, Vyah, Algena, and Dona, steadily building their sound with original tracks like “Sugar Sugar” and “Cute.”
The rising act first introduced themselves to the local P-Pop scene with a powerful rendition of Sarah Geronimo‘s iconic 2003 ballad, “Sa Iyo,” making the newly released “Paligaw-Ligaw Tingin” the group’s second official cover.
