Boy group 1621 has released its latest single, “Bababa.” The song, according to ABS-CBN Music, explores themes of romantic tension and lingering emotions.
The track, described as upbeat, likens feelings of love to an elevator ride. It is the second single from the group’s upcoming extended play (EP), set for release this year.
“Bababa” was composed and co-produced by Rondy Pangyarihan alongside Randy Prasetyo and Juju Maglacas. ABS-CBN Music executives Jonathan Manalo, Roque “Rox” Santos, and Perry Lansigan served as executive producers.
1621, composed of JM, JC, Pan, Win, Migz, and DJ, debuted in 2023 following their participation in the survival reality show “Dream Maker.” Their self-titled EP featured the tracks “Laruan” and “Ikaw at Ikaw.”
The group received the PPOP Potential award at the PPOP Music Awards in 2024 and was nominated for Best Performance by a New Group at the 37th Awit Awards. In January, they released the EDM track “Bagamundo,” which they performed at the pre-show of the “BINIverse World Tour 2025” at the Philippine Arena.
“Bababa” is available on streaming platforms.
