Sabado (Eraserheads song)

The songs were initiated by Esquire Philippines editor in chief Erwin Romulo when he followed the band during their one-night show in London in April 2014. “We wanted to find out what the band would sound like today,” he recalled. “It’s not a comeback. It’s an experiment.” Previously unreleased, "Sabado" was co-written by Romulo with bassist Buddy Zabala, guitarist Marcus Adoro, and drummer Raimund Marasigan. It was described as a “pop ditty” about the weekend. ==Release==

"Sabado" and "1995" were first released as part of a CD insert of Esquire's September 2014 issue. The magazine cover shows the band crossing the Abbey Road in a homage to the Beatles. The songs were also made available for playback online for the month of September through the magazine's online version. The band held a surprise live performance during the issue's launch party at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati. In October 2021, Offshore Music released the songs on 12-inch vinyl with exclusive remixes. ==Music video==

The music video for “Sabado” was directed by Erik Matti. It featured two best friends (Ketchup Eusebio and RK Bagatsing) crashing a house party. ==Track listing==
