The band formed in 2016 as the Benjamins, composed of Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico, and debuted with the single "Tinatangi", for which they also made a music video. The duo later renamed and released an eponymous EP consisting of seven songs. In 2017, Ben&Ben expanded into an ensemble, adding Poch Barretto as electric guitarist, Jam Villanueva as drummer, Agnes Reoma as bassist, Patricia Lasaten as keyboardist, Toni Muñoz and Andrew de Pano as percussionists, as well as Keifer Cabugao as violinist, with the Guicos being acoustic guitarists. The band achieved recognition in 2018 for incorporating songs into several Filipino films (such as Goyo: The Boy General) and television series (such as Coke Studio Homecoming). Ben&Ben released their debut studio album, Limasawa Street, in 2019 and their second, Pebble House, Vol. 1: Kuwaderno, in 2021. They have collaborated with various artists and recorded a charity single as part of the COVID-19 pandemic relief effort.

In April 2020, Ben&Ben jumped from 48th to 29th place in the Billboard Social 50 chart, which ranks artists by Internet engagements. In July, they ranked 1st in the South Korean music service Melon's real-time search following positive reviews of their song "Leaves" by various K-pop artists, notably by Young K of Day6, who made a 2020 cover version with Ben&Ben due to popular demand. The next month, Ben&Ben made cover versions of K-pop songs on their YouTube channel, in response to fan requests. Three days after its release, seven songs from Kuwaderno reached Spotify's Top 100 chart; the rest, as well as some of their previous songs, reached the Top 200 chart. In 2020 and 2021, the band was Spotify's most-streamed Original Pilipino Music (OPM) Artist and Group. In 2021, Ben&Ben set a new record in the folk pop genre, with "nearly 300 million streams in [over] 170 countries". The band have received various accolades locally and internationally, including the Awit Awards and NME Awards.
