The release of the disco-pop track comes with captivating visuals that explore themes of time travel and connection
P-Pop
Kings SB19 arrive in triumphant style with the release of their highly
anticipated single, “WYAT [Where You At].”
Produced by SB19’s very own Pablo and his real-life brother Josue, the catchy
new track delivers another show-stopping moment that cuts across boundaries and
generations.
According
to the Billboard chart-topping quintet, “WYAT” is a song that chronicles the
reconnection of a bond after a very challenging phase in life. “We’ve been
performing for almost half of our lives together, and due to the pandemic, our
world was suddenly put on hold,” shares Pablo. “I felt a disconnection among
the group brought about by the lockdown, and I’ve wanted to reach out to them
through this song.”
Propelling their artistry forward with a masterful blend of disco, electronic, and pop music, the five-member hitmaker sets the tone for a new era by incorporating the elements of the past with accessibility that is relatable to the present time. As Josh puts it, “Our team often tries to do something different from what we’ve done before; we’re always evolving.”
“WYAT”
first made rounds during SB19’s sold-out online concert Our Zone last
year, and was re-recorded at Pablo’s studio for a fuller, more polished touch.
It marks their first official release after being on a hiatus since launching
their 2021 EP, Pagsibol.
The
infectious bop is accompanied by the release of a music video
that is built around the themes of time travel and connection. Joyriding
through history with shiny, retro-spiked colors and exciting visuals, the MV
stays true to the vision of the song—thanks to Justin de Dios’ creative
direction and the group’s collaborative contribution to the brainstorming
process.
“Everything
we put out is connected,” Justin says. “It all started from the
teaser during the present day then we went back to the past, from the 50s
(diner) to 70s (roller disco) to the 90s (arcade) and back to the present.”
