SB19 is back with Simula at Wakas — a bold new chapter in their music journey. To take the comeback even further, the P-Pop kings have teamed up with Spotify to launch BALASA — a brand-new in-app experience built just for this era.

Live on Spotify, BALASA invites A’TIN to go beyond streaming and experience Simula at Wakas in a whole new way — through a fandom-powered quest.

The journey starts on the This Is SB19 playlist, where five tracks each hold a hidden BALASA card — one for every member of the group. To complete the quest, fans can stream and share the right songs, with clues hidden in Canvas: the looping visuals that play on each track. The more A’TIN engage and share, the more surprises may unfold along the way!
