2019 Southeast Asian Games marketing

Ryan Cayabyab composed the official theme song of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, which shares the name of the games' official slogan "We Win As One". Floy Quintos wrote the lyrics for the song, which was officially launched on July 11, 2019.[3] Lea Salonga performed for the official release of theme song.[4] The theme song and music video for "We Win As One" was formally released on 3 September 2019 at the Resorts World Manila.[5][6] The music video which was shot at the New Clark City Sports Hub was directed by Shem Hampac and was produced by Equinox Manila.[7]

Cayabyab originally made the composition of the song, with the expectation that 11 singers will do the official performance. The song was revised, in order to be more suitable for a solo performance, after Lea Salonga was tapped to do the performance.[8] Cayabyab and Jimmy Antiporda were the ones responsible for the arrangement of the song.[9]
