After making an impact with their debut single “Darama,” OONA. is ready to show another side of their artistry with their second single, “Unang Tingin.” Composed of Bella, Jaylou, Kari, Coleen, and Isaki, the group continues to make their presence felt, following the strong introduction they made with “Darama.” Now, with their latest release, OONA. is taking their musical journey a step further with a song that carries a message that goes beyond first impressions.
“Darama” gave audiences their first taste of what OONA. can bring to the music scene, creating an impact and establishing the group’s identity. With “Unang Tingin,” the members are proving that they are not simply here to make noise—they have stories and messages they want to share through their music. The new single explores how easily people can form opinions based on appearances, personalities, or even a single encounter.
At its core, “Unang Tingin” is a reminder that there is always more than what meets the eye. In a world where people are often judged in an instant, the song encourages listeners to take a second look and give others the chance to show who they really are. What we see at first may only be a small part of someone’s story, and sometimes, the most meaningful discoveries happen when we look beyond that initial impression.
Fans will also have the opportunity to celebrate this new chapter with OONA. as the group holds a listening party on September 18 at Westborough Town Center in Silang, Cavite. It will be a chance for fans to experience “Unang Tingin” together and get up close with Bella, Jaylou, Kari, Coleen, and Isaki as they introduce the song and continue building on the momentum created by “Darama.”
With “Darama” making an impact and “Unang Tingin” offering a deeper message, OONA. is showing that their journey is only beginning. First impressions may capture attention, but it is the substance, artistry, and heart behind the music that ultimately make people stay—and OONA. is ready to leave exactly that kind of lasting impression.
