AfterImage (sometimes spelled as After Image) is a Filipino rock band formed in 1986[citation needed], best known for their songs "Habang May Buhay", "Next in Line", and "Mangarap Ka". They disbanded in 1997 and became active again in 2008 after they reunited and released their fourth studio album. After disbanding in 1997, Wency Cornejo, the band's vocalist, pursued a solo career.

In January 1992, the band signed with Dyna Records, The band's first album, entitled Touch the Sun, was released in July 1992.[2][3] Among the eight songs that the album contained, four were released as singles: "Next in Line", "Bai (Sa Langit ang Ating Tagpuan)", "Only You", and "Pagtawid". The title of the album, which was the concluding part of the lyric to "Next in Line", was said[by whom?] to have just been a spontaneous utterance of a phrase which Cornejo made during the recording session for the said song.
