Tiësto left the act. To get the rumours confirmed, the site's staff sent a message to Black Hole Recordings, to which Arny Bink, the co-founder of the label, replied and said: "I can confirm that Gouryella have split up, and although there will be new Gouryella tracks, Tiësto will no longer produce them. This is for artistical reasons only Ferry and Tiësto are still good friends." Many took the rumours about a possible Gouryella split as being the result of an article about DJ Tiësto's album In My Memory which appeared in Mixmag'''s November 2001 issue, in which Tiësto stepped on Ferry Corsten's feet by saying "It's great to show the world I'm not just another Ferry Corsten". But according to Purple Eye Entertainment's Brian Dessaur, it was not at all the background to the split of Gouryella. "Due to the very busy schedule's [sic] of Ferry and Tijs, they aren't able to get together in the studio at the moment. This does not mean that there will never be a new Gouryella single in the near future," he said. On December 27, 2001, Bink contacted the site and handed over a statement from Tiësto, which read: Just a few minutes after this statement was handed to Trance.nu, another message was sent to the site, this time from Dessaur, who announced that there would be a new single in the spring of 2002 on Purple Eye. Despite his statement, and his desire to produce an album together with Corsten, Tiësto did not rejoin the act and left Corsten by himself to write and produce Gouryella's next singles. Following the departure of Tiësto, Corsten would collaborate with Dutch composer John Ewbank to produce the fourth Gouryella single. In the beginning of 2002, they started to work on the track. Titled "Ligaya" (Tagalog for "happiness"), it was released with a remix pack from Hiver & Hammer and Green Court, plus an extra Ferry Corsten Remix. Dutch duo Rank 1 also did a remix which, although not officially released, did see Rank 1 play it in some of their sets in 2002 and 2003. A stream of remixes by fans soon followed the original release, most notably by Airbase who allowed people to download his own remix for free before the original was released to the public. 2003 saw the release of "Ligaya"'s hard mixes by Yoji Biomehanika and Walt.
