The band performed in Manila as part of their concert tour for their latest single, We Belong Together. Harry Wayne Casey, more popularly known as KC, said that he wrote the song to remind people that, amidst all the chaos and problems that the world is encountering right now, “…we belong, we belong together.”

The crowd, comprised mainly of adults, went on full disco mode with the upbeat and groovy sounds of That’s The Way (I Like It), Give it Up, and their massive 1974 hit, Rock Your Baby. People bolted out of their seats and shook their booties like the disco era never ended as KC and the Sunshine Band belted out their unique mix of R&B and funk.
