Musician, former Sponge Cola drummer, and content creator Chris Cantada Force is set to release a new single, “Once,” dedicated to TWICE!
The song serves as his love letter to the K-pop girl group. It was originally slated for release later this year, but he decided to bump it up earlier to coincide with TWICE’s fan meet in Manila this June. The song is specifically dedicated to member, Jeongyeon.

For authenticity, Chris decided to collaborate with musicians who are also fans of TWICE. Conrad Javier (Fables, Boy Elroy) recorded guitars, Inky De Dios (Brigada, Kjwan) played keyboards, Hazel Faith sung backing vocals, and Joey Santos acted as producer. Legendary sound engineer, Angee Rozul, tracked the recording as well.
Aside from the English version, he is also releasing a Korean version of the song. This is his first time to sing in Korean. Both versions will be out on May 24, 2024 on all streaming platforms.
Chris is based in Manila, Philippines. He was the drummer for the Platinum Award-winning band Sponge Cola from 2002 to 2008. He took a break from music and concentrated on creating content on his YouTube channel, which has garnered approximately 1.56 Million subscribers. He decided to return to the music scene with his first single “Dragon, Fly” in 2023. Now, he is about to release his fifth single titled “Once.”
