Lily (stylized in all caps, formerly known as Callalily) is a pop rock band from the Philippines formed in 2005. The band is currently composed of Aaron Ricafrente, Nathan Reyes, Joshua Bulot, Ezra Bañez, and Alden Acosta, the band's original lead guitarist who reunited with the band in 2022, twelve years after he left in 2010.
Notable former members include Kean Cipriano, the band's frontman for 17 years since the band's inception, who later embarked on a solo career and opened his own record label, and Tatsi Jamnague who later joined the band Gracenote. Following Cipriano's departure, drummer and chief songwriter Lem Belaro announced that they are changing the band's name to Lily and after a series of nationwide auditions, the band hired Joshua Bulot as Cipriano's replacement.
