“Upuan” was originally released in May 2021 as the first single off Ben&Ben’s sophomore album Pebble House Vol. 1: Kuwaderno. 

“We incorporated a more visual style in the song, painting a picture for the listener and transporting them to that familiar place, of falling in love with someone they just met, whether that is in a classroom, by the beach, at a restaurant,” the band said then. 

Ben&Ben first teased the project with DonBelle on August 26, saying that the collaboration was highly requested by their fans. “Nagsimula sa posts niyo, andito na tayo (It started from your posts, and now we’re here.)”

Donny and Belle, who are set to film the second season of their series He’s Into Her later this year, also uploaded photos from the music video shoot on their social media accounts. 

Aside from the music video for “Upuan,” Ben&Ben also released their second album Pebble House Vol.1: Kuwaderno on Sunday. The 12-track album includes six collaborations featuring Moira dela Torre, Munimuni, Chito Miranda, KZ Tandingan, Juan Karlos, Zild, and SB19. – Rappler.com
