P-pop girl group XONARA have dropped their latest single, “PULA,” marking their first comeback following their breakout debut earlier this year.

Released on August 7, 2026 under 1Z Entertainment, Republic Records, and UMG Philippines, “PULA” serves as XONARA’s second official single. It arrives shortly after the success of their debut track, “TABI,” which introduced the seven-member act as one of P-pop’s most promising newcomers.

The new single was first previewed live during Puregold OPM Con 2026 on July 11 before receiving another pre-release performance at the YouTube Works Awards 2026 on August 5. Fans also caught an early hint of the release through the music video for “TABI,” followed by a rollout of individual teaser photos featuring members Tin, Eurekah, Dominique, Ella, Namie, Megumi, and Lei.

“PULA” explores confidence and self-expression through a smooth hip-hop sound that puts the group’s vocals and effortless swagger at the forefront. Moving away from the high-energy approach of “TABI,” the track showcases a new side of the group, embracing a more rhythm-driven style.

Its hook cleverly plays on the Filipino word pula (“red”) and the phrase “pull up,” reinforcing the single’s racer-inspired concept. Lyrics such as, “Me and my girls, we bleedin’ red now / Everywhere we step becomes a red town / Kita mo sa aming aura / Pula, pula, pula (You can see it in our aura / Red, red, red),” further capture the group’s bold attitude.

Arriving alongside the single, its official music video premieres on August 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM. The P-pop group also shared a 30-second teaser video, offering a glimpse of the girls performing the choreography in a dimly lit garage.

In celebration of their new single, XONARA will meet fans at a pit stop of XONARA’s World at TriNoma on August 7 from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The event will feature interactive stations, a live performance, a meet-and-greet, and a special surprise. Another pit stop is scheduled for August 9 at Ayala Malls The 30th, with additional locations to be announced soon.

Since making their debut, XONARA have quickly emerged as one of the most promising acts of the year, being recognized as part of Billboard PhilippinesP-pop Class of 2026. Their debut single “TABI” recently ranked No. 2 in the Most-Voted P-pop Releases of the First Half of 2026, finishing just behind their senior group and labelmates, SB19.
