Their performance was a familiar sight to long-time fans, particularly those who have followed them since their "SOP" days. The GMA-7 concert variety show, which competed with ABS-CBN's "ASAP," ran for 13 years until 2010. Jaya was one of its original main hosts, while Jona joined the show in 2005.

Their history goes a bit further, however. Jona won the debut 2004 season of "Pinoy Pop Superstar," a talent search also produced by GMA-7, where Jaya was one of the judges.
