As they celebrated their sixth anniversary, P-pop group 1st.one marked a new milestone in their career with the official launch of their debut album GIGIL at Dogzilla Studio on August 1.

Alongside the album launch, 1st.one delighted fans with live performances of their title track GIGIL, their pre-release single "Kung Saan Saan," and "Gusto Mo Ba?" with singer-songwriter jikamarie, who wrote the song.

Described as "a declaration of artistic freedom in P-pop," GIGIL explores rebellion, self-discovery and pursuit of creative freedom.

“With 'GIGIL,' we want to send a message: it's time to break away from the molds and create music that truly represents us,” said members Ace, Alpha, Max, J, Jayson, and Russ in a unified statement. “We hope our album encourages others to embrace their individuality and voice.”

Drawing from personal experiences, each member of the P-pop group contributed to writing nearly every song on the album, resulting in music that feels both honest and deeply relatable.

Fans of the so-called "Supremes of P-pop" who joined the launch and anniversary celebration with their idols were treated to an exclusive first listen of the album in its entirety.

Various fun activities and interactions also made the event more special and intimate.

GIGIL drops on August 14, which includes the title track along with 10 brand new songs.
