Her third solo album entitled Becoming released in August 2006, reached gold status in just one week, and Platinum for about a month after.
Sarah continued to spread her wings globally as concerts were successfully staged in Taiwan, Canada, Alaska, and Dubai. The Other Side US Tour had her visit San Diego, Hanford, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu, Maui, Anaheim, Washington DC and Atlantic City.

Ang ningning ng mga tala'y nakikita ko sa'yong mga mata
Tala tala tala (tala tala tala)
Ang ningning ng yong mga mata'y hinahanap ko sa mga tala
Siguro nga't masyadong mabilis ang pagyanig
Ng puso ko para sa puso mo
Siguro nga ako ay makulit ayaw makinig
Hindi ko maipilit
Tila ako'y nakalutang na sa langit
Ngunit nalulunod sa yong mga ngiti
At kung hanggang dito lang talaga tayo
Hindi pababayaan ang daang tinahak na kapiling ka
At kung umabot tayo hanggang dulo
Kapit lang nang mahigpit
Aabutin natin ang mga tala
Tala tala tala
Ang ningning ng mga tala'y nakikita ko sa'yong mga mata
Tala tala tala
Ang ningning ng yong mga mata'y hinahanap ko sa mga tala
Maaring kinabukasan ay mag-iba ng
Ihip ng iyong ninanais
Ngunit maaari bang kahit na pansamantala lang
Ikaw muna'y maging akin
Tila ako'y nakalutang na sa langit
Ngunit nalulunod sa yong mga ngiti
At kung hanggang dito lang talaga tayo
Hindi pababayaan ang daang tinahak na kapiling ka
At kung umabot tayo hanggang dulo

Queen SG should make another songs whose genre is like this😊 it's very overwhelming that a filipino pop song became a dance craze in our own country. Knowing that most filipinos were very attached to foreign songs rather than filipino pop songs. And just to give credit to Sarah G for making another taste of music here in the Philippines. As we all know we're more on ballad songs. I love SG muahhh
Great Unknown

@Merelyn Villegas di pedeng laging gawang pinoy, yung ibang kantang Pinoy puro kababuyan at tungkol sa droga rin eh, di ko sinasabing walang kababuyan ang foreign songs, ang point ko lang, di lahat ng kantang Pinoy ay maganda sa pandinig
Love Sarah
