Over October’s new music video, “Sandali Lang,” dropped on August 26, stars young actors Miles Ocampo and Elijah Canlas. The music video, directed by Carl Chavez, is the band’s first music video in two years.
The new MV highlights the band’s first-ever Tagalog song, marking a milestone for the four-member group. The single was released earlier on streaming platforms by Island Records Philippines.
Over October members Josh Buizon and Josh Lua were responsible for the lyrics of “Sandali Lang.” However, the band says, the song came together in a writing session in La Union.
“We were in a bubble making music and the song just came out,” the band says, “It was an exciting feeling writing in Filipino for the first time”.
The song was arranged by the band and producers Jazz and Peavey Nicolas in the studio, thus making the song “more complete.”
Chavez, the video’s director, met with Over October to work out the concept for the video. After hearing about how the song came to be, he worked out a narrative that the band describes as “awesome.”
“What we like about the video is that it’s really open to interpretation,” the band says, “and it could mean a different thing to each person depending on where [they] are in life.”
