List of songs recorded by Ben&Ben

Filipino indie folk band Ben&Ben have recorded and written material for two studio albums and one extended play (EP). They have collaborated with other artists and featured on songs on their respective albums. The band formed in 2016 as the Benjamins, composed of Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico. The duo debuted "Tinatangi" as part of the Philippine Popular Music Festival songwriting competition. They then changed their name and released their self-titled EP consisting of seven songs.[1] In 2017, they expanded into a nine-member ensemble, adding Poch Barretto as electric guitarist, Jam Villanueva as drummer, Agnes Reoma as bassist, Patricia Lasaten as keyboardist, Toni Muñoz and Andrew de Pano as percussionists, as well as Keifer Cabugao as violinist, with the Guicos being acoustic guitarists.[2][3] In 2018, two singles from the EP were featured in film soundtracks: "Susi" for the biopic Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral and "Maybe the Night" for the romantic drama Exes Baggage; they also co-wrote "Balik-Balikan" with Sam Concepcion for the television series Coke Studio Homecoming.[4]

With producer Jean Paul Verona, Ben&Ben debuted the double lead singles "Araw-Araw" and "Pagtingin", before releasing their first studio album, Limasawa Street (2019).[5][6] It blended indie folk, pop, and world music genres,[6] and embraced themes of romance and positivity.[7] They collaborated on the title track with British producer Steve Lillywhite, known for his work with rock band U2.[8] In the same year, ten songs taken from their EP and debut album were curated for the soundtrack of the romance film LSS (Last Song Syndrome) (2019).[9] Their second studio album, Pebble House, Vol. 1: Kuwaderno (2021), marked a move towards sociopolitical themes reflected in lyrics that deal with social justice, mental health, and individualism.[10][11] The band members co-wrote some of the songs on the album, with all of them receiving producing credits.[12] It emphasized a more diversified style, exploring minimalist sound, elements of hand-clapping, and incorporating melodic chants, as well as rock opera-inspired music.[12][13]

Ben&Ben have collaborated and co-written material with other artists, including Moira Dela Torre, SB19, and Harv. They have also covered a variety of popular songs such as "Make It with You" by Bread, "The Way You Look at Me" by Christian Bautista, "Tuloy Na Tuloy Pa Rin ang Pasko" by the APO Hiking Society, and "Beautiful Girl" and "A Perfect Christmas" by Jose Mari Chan. The single "Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay" became the main theme of two films in 2023—Love You Long Time and Rewind.[14][15] A musical adaptation of the 2007 drama One More Chance will feature Ben&Ben's discography and is scheduled to premiere in April 2024.[16]
