<div style="text-align:justify"><strong>The only daughter of Singaporean football icon Fandi Ahmad and former South African model Wendy Jacobs also connected with our very own KAIA and RAMONA (Andrea Brillantes) ahead of the song&#x27;s release today.</strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Singaporean singer <strong><u>Iman Fandi</u></strong> just dropped her new single <strong><u>&quot;IT IS&quot;</u></strong> across all digital music platforms. Bold, playful and self-assured, &quot;IT IS&quot; distills a clear, unapologetic message of feminine confidence and self-worth. The song rests on the belief that real value is demonstrated rather than promised, and on the certainty that comes with knowing your worth, refusing to justify it, and insisting on action instead of words. It embodies a woman fully grounded in her own strength, who will not make herself smaller, explain away her value, or wait quietly to be picked.  </p><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AYWBYaWcse0?si=Z5ecvUeZU9iCfgKc" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"><strong></strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">&quot;This is something I have personally learned throughout my life,&quot; <strong><u>Iman</u></strong> bares. &quot;While the song&#x27;s message is rooted in confidence and self-possession, it also carries a playful nod to the people who always ask, &#x27;Is this song about me?&#x27; The answer is part mystery, part mischief: if you think it is about you, maybe it is.&quot;</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">That playful edge gives the song its sting. It says exactly what it needs to say and nothing more, standing as both a declaration and an early look at the fearless artist <strong><u>Iman</u></strong> is becoming.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Ahead of the release, Iman hooked up with P-pop group <strong><u>KAIA</u></strong> and <strong><u>RAMONA</u></strong> - the musical singer-songwriter kayfabe alter ego of screen star <strong><u>Andrea Brillantes</u></strong> - after meeting in Singapore at the <strong>NBA Rising Stars Invitational</strong>. The collaborations rolled out across TikTok through August, following the same route the single has taken at home, where it has been building through content with fellow <strong><u>National Day Parade</u></strong> performers <strong><u>Jasmine Sokko</u></strong> and <strong><u>Gareth Fernandez</u></strong>.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1758925178798041%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="591" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@imanfandi/video/7665272389986438421" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7665272389986438421" id="v44654950137903970" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v44654950137903970" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7665272389986438421?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-21T06%3A38%3A15.528649%3Af782087b-88c5-40d3-9182-00e15825157d%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:310px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:310px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@sabingakosiramona/video/7658935186045865236" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7658935186045865236" id="v22343894722239430" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v22343894722239430" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7658935186045865236?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-21T06%3A38%3A15.528649%3Af782087b-88c5-40d3-9182-00e15825157d%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@imanfandi/video/7656401132469701908" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7656401132469701908" id="v62167340470177780" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v62167340470177780" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7656401132469701908?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-08-21T06%3A38%3A15.528649%3Af782087b-88c5-40d3-9182-00e15825157d%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:758px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The track caps a year of pivotal milestones.
