Following a successful year in music, IV OF SPADES continues to make waves with compelling new singles, including the new alt-pop track “Susundan,” out now via Sony Music Entertainment.
The new IV OF SPADES single will be part of their upcoming third studio album, TROPICAL DREAM, which is slated for release on December 9, 2026.
A sincere but desperate take on romantic longing, “Susundan” explores the experience of pursuing someone who remains frustratingly out of reach. Blending retro sensibilities with ‘90s alt rock, the song champions a breezy, sun-soaked sound with an easygoing, cruising vibe. Written by Blaster Silonga and composed by IV OF SPADES, it’s a summer song in a not-so-summer season: an effortlessly melodic, warm pop tune that conjures the spirit of blissed-out vacations outside the city.
Beneath its upbeat arrangement, however, lies a layered narrative about unwavering devotion and the sometimes-absurd lengths people go to for love.
“Susundan expresses the feeling of wanting to be close to someone, even when it seems impossible,” shares the four-piece band in a press statement. “While we wanted to capture the humor and excitement of chasing after someone, we also want to acknowledge the vulnerability that comes with putting your feelings out there. The song serves as a reminder that love can be both exhilarating and unpredictable, and sometimes, you have to learn when to let go.”
The new single’s visuals find the band performing against a backdrop of colorful, quirky cutouts and children’s theater props, while plainly goofing around like the kids that they are.
IV OF SPADES is enjoying a triumphant streak so far, thanks to touring achievements and countless industry-driven recognitions. The band has also marked a series of career milestones, including a successful tour across the United States and Canada and multiple wins at the Awit Awards and Filipino Music Awards. Their late 2025 album, Andalucia, has gained over 220 million streams on Spotify alone, making it one of the biggest Filipino records in recent memory.
IV OF SPADES’ “Susundan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video here.
