Ben&Ben Grammy Submission Details

  • Song: “Leaves (Reimagined)”
  • Album: Nine, Ben&Ben’s first anthology album
  • Category: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
  • Status: Submitted for consideration

What Is ‘Leaves (Reimagined)’?

The band describes the new track as a “deeper, more mature version” of the original “Leaves.” The reimagined song appears on Nine, which was released in September.

The anthology album looks back on Ben&Ben’s first nine years as a band. It came out ahead of the group’s Saranggola concert, which was reported as sold out.

What Happens Next

A submission is the first step, not a nomination. Recording Academy members will vote on which entries make the final list of nominees. So fans will need to wait for the official nominations announcement to see if the song makes the cut.

Why It Matters for OPM

Filipino acts are getting more global attention than ever. For instance, OPM bands have recently played major international stages. A Grammy nod would be a big moment for Philippine music.

Either way, Ben&Ben’s submission shows how far OPM can reach.
