\nDirected by Shai Advincula, the story takes place in the time of pandemic, where a woman in isolation found unexpected companionship in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
\nAccording to Advincula, the concept behind the music video revolves around the idea of isolation and the crazy things that we do to cope with the loneliness that comes with it. She explains, \u201cOver the past year, our lives have shifted by being stuck at home most of the time. There are a lot of things that we\u2019re missing from our pre-pandemic life, one of which is the affection we get from a companion. But how do we cater to our need for affection in a socially distanced world? The music video shows a bizarre but refreshing take on coping.\u201d

Vocalist and guitarist Mack Dela Cruz reveals that it was the band\u2019s first time to work with Advincula. \u201cShe\u2019s very professional, and her ideas blew our minds. We had so much fun and it was a great experience for us working with such a tremendous team.\u201d\nWritten by the band\u2019s guitarist Mike Quebral and arranged by vocalist and guitarist Mack Dela Cruz, \u201cPanahon\u201d was recorded at Kodama Studio with the goal to produce a calm, soothing piece of music that finds worth in spontaneity, and not having to waste life worrying about the daily grind. \u201cWe know a lot of people suffering from depression, so I wrote this song to remind people that there is hope, and slowly but surely, you\u2019ll be able to get past it with a renewed perspective in life,\u201d Quebral shares.
\nThe song is part of We Got\u2019s debut EP, Hiwaga, which was released on all digital music platforms worldwide last week. Produced by Raymund Marasigan and mastered by Shinji Tanaka, the 7-track release delivers infinitely hummable jams that prove to be both fun and heartwarming.
\nStepping into the spotlight with staccato chords, infectious horns, and syncopated rhythms, the mini album features five previously released tracks, and two new songs: the effervescent jam \u201cKakaiba Ka\u201d and the EP\u2019s lead single \u201cPanahon.\u201d The latter brings some exciting new energy to this season\u2019s predictable nature, taking into account the importance of weeding out the negativity to enjoy what life has to offer.
\nWe Got\u2019s debut EP, Hiwaga is available on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines. Its lead single \u201cPanahon\u201d has a music video that you can watch via YouTube.<\/p>\n
