For pop audiences across the Philippines, the arrival of Dare You To Doubt Me lands as a powerful, unapologetic addition to the roster of global pop that has found a permanent home in local listening habits, anchored by the core creative identity of the band that crafted it, The Script. The band’s longstanding gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamoured fans all over the world, leading to a catalogue of global hits such as ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Breakeven’ that have circulated widely among Filipino pop fans, who have latched onto the band’s ability to turn raw, personal feeling into universally accessible sound. But the band’s path forward took on a new, searing purpose following the tragic loss of founder member Mark Sheehan in 2023, a loss that left his bandmates Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power to navigate what it would mean to carry on the work they had built together from its earliest days.
