SB19 time travels across generations with new retro-inspired single 'WYAT'

P-Pop kings SB19 came back in triumphant style with the release of their highly anticipated single, "WYAT [Where You At]."

Produced by SB19's very own leader Pablo and his brother Josue, the catchy track delivers another show-stopping moment that cuts across boundaries and generations.

According to the Billboard chart-topping group, "WYAT" is a song that chronicles the reconnection of a bond after a 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," said 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 blend of disco, electronic, and pop, the five-piece sets the tone for a new era by incorporating the elements of the past while still being relatable to the present time.

As Josh put 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.

This is their first official release after being on a hiatus since launching their 2021 EP, "Pagsibol."

The infectious song 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 visuals, the MV stays true to the vision of the song—thanks to member Justin's creative direction and the group's collaborative contribution.

"Everything we put out is connected," Justin said. "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."

The P-Pop phenoms are set to embark on their biggest local and international tour to date. The WYAT [Where You At] Tour kicks off on September 17 at Araneta Coliseum, to be followed by a series of shows in Clark, Cebu, Davao, and more.

Starting in October, SB19 is set to embark on their first world tour! They will be visiting the US, UAE, Singapore, and more.
