Originally released on March 31, 2026, “Lifetime (Reimagined)” quickly gained traction across digital platforms, powered by a surge in TikTok virality.

The track has also reached No. 1 on Genius Lyrics Charts, further reflecting its lyrical impact and online engagement.
A song shaped by emotion and intention
According to the nine-piece collective, the reimagined version was built around a deeper emotional lens.
“For this version of Lifetime, we felt that we could be there for someone in their pain, longing, and yearning through these new lyrics and melodies,” the band shared. “There’s a deep sense of gratefulness in our hearts for how people have received the song so far. We’re very humbled, and we promise to keep working hard in writing and performing music that connects deeply with Liwanag, our listeners.”
A reimagined listening experience
“Lifetime (Reimagined)” introduces an expanded arrangement featuring additional verses, a bridge, and an instrumental break, extending the track to 4 minutes and 37 seconds. It was written by Miguel and Paolo Benjamin, with Paolo also serving as co-producer alongside Jean Paul Verona.
