Any Name’s Okay is a Filipino alternative pop band that emerged from the University of the Philippines Diliman in late 2017. Formed within the UP Music Circle, the band consists of Sofia Abrogar (vocals), Renzo Lumanog (vocals, rhythm guitar), Juan Lada (bass), Arvin Olete (drums), and Anton Atienza (lead guitar). Initially, the group was a temporary project, but after their debut performance at Manila Science High School's "Masciang Paskuhan" in December 2017, they decided to continue making music together.
Their debut single, "Clouds," released in May 2018, marked the beginning of their musical journey. Since then, Any Name’s Okay has been recognized for their vibrant and relatable music, earning nominations at the Awit Awards in 2019, 2023, and 2024.

In 2022, the band released their sophomore EP, Leaving Home, which delves into themes of adulthood and self-discovery. The EP's standout track, "Takbo," addresses the pressures of hustle culture and the pursuit of personal growth. Continuing their evolution, Any Name’s Okay introduced a pop-punk influence in their 2025 single, "Cake," showcasing their versatility and willingness to experiment with different genres.
