XONARA are stepping into their next era with their upcoming new single, “PULA.”

Set for release on August 7, 2026, the highly anticipated track was first previewed during their set at Puregold OPM Con at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on July 11, 2026. It marks the seven-member act’s second official single, following the breakout success of their debut release, “TABI,” which quickly amassed millions of streams.

“PULA” showcases XONARA’s signature youthful energy and playful lyricism, incorporating a catchy wordplay between the Filipino word “pula” (red) and the phrase “pull up.” Performed live with lyrics including, “Heads down / Pedal to the metal yeah we rev loud / Drivin’ to the top / we ’boutta pull up,” the track hints at a confident anthem that continues the group’s fresh musical identity.

Shortly after the performance, XONARA unveiled the single cover art and release date across their social media platforms.

On July 12, 2026, the group also revealed that they had hidden an easter egg for “PULA” in the music video for “TABI,” with the song’s title briefly appearing on an iPod screen in one of the scenes.

Building further anticipation, the seven-member act also announced the first pit stops of XONARA’s World, with appearances at TriNoma on August 7 and Ayala Malls The 30th on August 9. Additional locations are set to be revealed soon.

Composed of Tin, Eurekah, Dominique, Ella, Namie, Megumi, and Lei, XONARA serve as the first-ever girl group under 1Z Entertainment, in partnership with Republic Records Philippines and UMG Philippines. Since making their debut, the group has been named Billboard PhilippinesP-Pop Class of 2026 and has performed at the inaugural P-POP UNITE: The Convention.

Even before their official debut, XONARA generated buzz through appearances at SB19‘s Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale and Aurora Music Festival 2026, helping establish them as one of the most talked-about new acts in the P-pop scene.

“PULA” is now available for pre-save ahead of its August 7 release.
