Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot

Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot is the second album created by Orange and Lemons, released on April 28, 2005, by Universal Records. The album earned double platinum status with its hits "Hanggang Kailan (Umuwi Ka Na Baby)" and "Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)".

Background

After releasing their debut album Love in the Land of Rubber Shoes and Dirty Ice Cream, they signed a contract with Universal Records October 2004, making Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot their first major album. The album went on to get a Double Platinum.

The song "Pinoy Ako" was used by ABS-CBN for the Pinoy Big Brother, which was used as the theme song and background music. Though the song had some controversy because it sounded like "Chandelier" by The Cure. Universal Records released a Repackaged Edition later that year, which included a bonus VCD.

To commemorate the album's legacy, the band celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2020 by releasing their demo sessions for Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot (2004 Demo Sessions) on May 29, 2020. They were supposed to celebrate the 15th anniversary together with the albums of Pedicab and Dicta License, but because of the global pandemic, they were unable to. The group decided to host a private virtual live concert in Facebook.
