SB19 releases THE FIRST TAKE versions of “DAM” and “Time” on digital music platforms worldwide

Available globally starting today, these exclusive one-take recordings mark another trailblazing achievement for the P-Pop supergroup 

Sony Music Entertainment announces the official worldwide release of THE FIRST TAKE versions of “DAM” and “Time,” two of SB19’s most celebrated hits. Starting today, music fans across the globe can stream the new versions on all digital music platforms.

Both “DAM” and “Time” were originally showcased in exclusive one-take performances on THE FIRST TAKE, which premiered on November 3 and November 24, 2025, simultaneously. 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.

SB19 marks bold new era in P-Pop with genre-defying single “DAM”

The track will serve as the first official single off their upcoming EP, Simula at Wakas

A week after announcing the highly anticipated kickoff of their world tour at the prestigious Philippine Arena, Filipino supergroup SB19 continues to cement their place as a true P-Pop trailblazer with the release of “DAM,” the first official single off their upcoming EP, Simula at Wakas.

Fueled by their deep appreciation for medieval fantasy and innovative approach to sound, “DAM” marks a fresh chapter in SB19’s genre-defying journey. The track seamlessly fuses elements of hip-hop, Celtic and Filipino folk, EDM, industrial, and prog-rock, while retaining the signature martial energy that defined their previous hits “What” and “GENTO.” What sets “DAM” apart, however, is not only its grandiosity, but  also its willingness to push the envelope both lyrically and sonically—an experimental exploration of new musical frontiers, if you would describe it.
