SB19 performed their latest single "DAM" live for the first time on All-Out Sundays earlier, March 2.
Dressed in black ensembles, the Kings of P-pop showed their powerful moves while singing their comeback song.
Watch here:
In an exclusive interview with AOS barkada Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz, Pablo said about their newest song and their performance, “Siyempre, excited na excited kami kasi ang tagal naming hinintay itong comeback na 'to. For two years, ngayon na lang kami magpu-full out ulit. Nagpapasalamat kami sa AOS at pinagbigyan nila kaming mag-perform dito for the first time.
Justine added about their looks, “Mukha tayong video game characters. Hinango natin, siyempre, sa inspirations natin na parang medieval lang.”
Julie asked the group about their inspiration in doing their EP titled Simula at Wakas.
Justine replied, “Bago pa namin magawa yung kanta, parang sa simula pa lang, nai-imagine na namin together na medieval siya. Walang communication directly. Parang yun na yung agad yung naisip namin nung nagme-meeting kami for Pagsibol, Pagtatag, hanggang sa nag-meeting kami [para] sa Simula at Wakas. Talagang makalumang panahon yung naiisip namin. Siguro because it's an origin story.
Ken added, “Aside from that, kapag napakinggan mo yung instrumental ng kanta, yung mga elements na ginami dun, kumbaga, yung music and melodies, walang lyrics, you can immediately feel. Yung music talaga will speak to you.”
Rayver then asked SB19 about their latest single “Dam.”
Stell said, “Itong 'Dam' kasi, bukod sa concept niya, parang ito yung mapi-feel mo na parang last na, e. Pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na porket last na, tapos na ang lahat. Kasi, kung pakiramdam n'yo ay katapusan na 'to, nagkakamali kayo. Nagsisimula pa lang po tayo.
We're very excited to share a lot more in the coming days, weeks, months, and years. Super excited kami. But itong 'Dam,' namnamin n'yo muna.
