Ben&Ben will be competing against Vietnam’s Jack, Indonesia’s Agnez Mo, Singapore’s Benjamin Kheng, Malaysia’s K-Clique and Thailand’s Violette Wautier.

This year's MTV EMA will air globally on November 8, 2020.

Ben&Ben is behind the hits "Araw-Araw," Kathang Isip," “Maybe the Night,” and “Pagtingin.”

Early this year, the band held a free online concert, shot from their homes, for the benefit of the country’s frontliners against COVID-19.

Just last August, the band donated the proceeds from their song, “Nakikinig Ka Ba Sa Akin,” to campaigns helping the ABS-CBN employees who lost their jobs.

The music video for the song premiered after ABS-CBN was denied a franchise, with the band writing: “isang alay sa ating mga kapamilya, sa bigat ng mga pangyayari ngayon.”
