  Along with displaying the group’s snappy choreography – the song’s uncomplicated, Y2K-inspired music video also highlights the rappers’ swift rap lines. The song title is a play on the Tagalog word “Siya ba?” More so, it has a chorus that is reminiscent of a nursery rhyme and upbeat hip-hop beats. 

  Darlene of YGIG quoted in a press conference, “Initially po, this song is about a confident girl who likes someone. But whenever that person is right in front of her, she gets very shy and very intimidated. That leads her po to cast a love spell to be able to get him.”

  Watch the music video HERE:

  YGIG, which stands for “You Go, I Go,” is comprised of 7 members – Alexei, Jewel, Maeg, Darlene, JM, Haze, and Vien. Following SB19, the 7-piece collective is the first girl group to be launched under SBTown – the same management P-pop boyband SB19 belongs to. The girls trained under SBTalent Camp, led by the same trainer as SB19 – South Korean trainer Adie Hong. The girls seek to introduce Filipino culture across the country and the globe with their music. As of writing, they are signed to Universal Records, as well.
