SB19’s fierce and revolutionary new single, ‘What,’ took the internet by storm last night, as it marked the idol group’s historic comeback
Three years after the release of their debut single, Tilaluha, SB19 has already made incredible milestones none of their contemporaries have ever accomplished. This year, as it continues to lead P-Pop’s charge into the international scene, the group releases a powerful track whose cutthroat blaze, perfectly represents OPM’s burning aspirations to soar.
With ‘What,’ SB19 hoists and raises the P-Pop’s flag, and as if preaching the entire republic of its new anthem, it turns the volume and sounds the drums of war, leading local idol groups’ collective foray into dominating the international music scene.
Barely five hours after its release, What already accumulated nearly 500,000 views, which only means that it would easily cross the 1 million mark in less than a day, breaking the record previously set by the group’s other smash hit, Alab, which achieved the elusive feat, in just two days. The music video’s blazing pace, however, should not be a surprise. Aside from the group’s overwhelming fan support, the music video has impressive technical merits to bank on.
Interestingly, What is kind of a detour from SB19’s past singles, for while it retains the breezy upbeat vibe, its strong and dominating catchphrase-driven identity, nearly defines the song. Powerful vocal punches from Pablo launch the music video in a sensational takeoff, while Josh in a hot suit, turns up the heat in the middle.
Like most of the group’s previous hits, What similarly talks about SB19’s relentless struggle to push further. The song echoes the collective sentiment of other groups who also pursue their shot on the global stage. And to SB19’s credit, What perfectly embodies that goal, as it beautifully paints a symbolic portrait of their pursuit.
Ultimately, the music video serves as a glorious showcase of the group’s years of training, as well as their talent management’s intensive handling of their career. The music video only reignites the unmistakable P-Pop imprint SB19’s for being a champion. Chaos and energy infused in the music video, which matches the track’s trap-infused and EDM beats.
Thrusting into attention the group’s moves and styles, What, with its revolutionary beats and top-notch production level, is undoubtedly poised to become SB19’s new crowning glory. It won’t be a surprise when it turns out to be the group’s biggest hit, yet. Watch the music video, below:
