Following a period of reflection and growth, OPM band Leona makes a powerful return to the music scene with their most vulnerable release to date, “Isang Sandali Pa.” Released under Universal Records Philippines, the track serves as both a poignant tribute and a universal anthem for anyone navigating the complexities of loss.

Born from a place of deep personal sorrow, the band reveals that the song was written to honor their bassist’s beloved dog, who passed away recently. While the inspiration was specific, the resulting track resonates with anyone who has ever yearned for “just one more moment” with a loved one.

“We wrote this song as a tribute to our bassist’s beloved fur baby who passed away a few months ago,” the band shares. “We hope it reaches anyone who’s still holding on to beautiful memories.”

A Cinematic Evolution of Sound

“Isang Sandali Pa” captures the raw spectrum of grief—from hospital-room prayers to the quiet acceptance of a final goodbye. The song builds toward an emotional climax with the haunting plea, “Isang sandali pa ang aking hiling” (One more moment is my wish), balancing the ache of a void with the gratitude of having loved deeply.

This release marks a more mature and cinematic chapter for the group. The band—composed of Ken Tiongson, Faith Garcia, Jake Nicolas, Jazer Reyes, Clyde Amoranto, and John Ace Gatuz—used their hiatus to lean into their personal experiences, resulting in a sound that is as polished as it is emotionally charged.

Now Available

“Isang Sandali Pa” is more than just a comeback; it is a love letter to the companions—human or otherwise—who leave an indelible mark on our lives.

The single is now available on all major music streaming platforms.
