Today (November 28, 2025), the Kings of P-pop SB19 debuted the highly anticipated audio versions of “DAM” and “TIME” recorded on THE FIRST TAKE, which are both now available for streaming on digital platforms worldwide. The group’s acclaimed one-take video performances were originally uploaded on the Japanese YouTube channel on November 3 and November 25, 2025, respectively.
In an official press release, it was emphasized that not only do the five-piece’s performances represent the Philippines on a global scale, but they also establish a milestone for Filipino music. “The releases mark SB19’s notable return to the influential Japanese YouTube channel, where they hold the distinction as the first and only Filipino and Southeast Asian act to perform and the first ever to do so twice.”
In this same press release, each member of SB19 shares their gratitude for this grand opportunity. “We are happy and honored to be back in TFT. It has always been our goal to champion Filipino talent and perform on a globally recognized platform. This is a huge opportunity and honor for us, and we are excited to share our passion with the world,” says Pablo. On a similar note, Stell notes, “It may not be a trophy, but it is an honor to share our music and represent our country. We hope that more Filipino artists will have the opportunity to perform on that stage and share the richness of our music with the world.”
Meanwhile, Ken emphasizes the pressure of performing for this globally influential platform: “Although the performance is similar to what we’ve done before, we did the song in a single take. It really is a true one-take recording, and the first take is what they used. We put in a lot of hard work to give our best and perform without mistakes. We are truly grateful for the opportunity and feel proud that we were able to share this moment with everyone.” To conclude, Josh closes off this note by saying, “We used to daydream about performing there, and now we’ve grown and are finally doing it, not just for SB19 but also to show what real Filipino talent is.”
In other news, SB19 has recently broken into Billboard’s World Digital Songs Chart once again, this time with their latest single “Burn The Flame,” which was released as the official anthem for Honor of Kings‘ King Pro League International Championship 2025. The track broke into the global chart at the No. 9 position and has officially been ranked as part of the top 10 best-selling digital singles for the week of November 29, 2025.
