1ST.ONE has grown significantly since their debut, showcasing their development as
singer-songwriters. Their latest sound reflects a deeper, more mature artistic vision,
characterized by earthy vibes and a sensuous melody. This evolution is not merely a shift in their sound; it symbolizes their growth as individuals and as artists, intertwining personal experiences and emotional depth into their music.
1ST.ONE’s transition into a more sensual tune is marked by smooth harmonies and
rhythms that resonate with listeners on a profound level. GUSTO MO BA uses rich, layered
instrumentation and evocative lyrics that invites us into a world that feels both intimate and relatable.
The sensuality of 1ST.ONE reaches new heights through a collaborative effort featuring
one of today’s most talented and hottest streaming Filipino artist jikamarie. The
partnership brings a refreshing dynamic to the track originally composed by jikamarie
herself and arranged by one of the Philippines’ most talented and trailblazing producers
Ken Ponce.
Blending jikamarie’s sultry, fierce melodies, flows and vocals with the smooth
melodic lines of Ace, Alpha, Max, Joker, J, Jayson together with Ken Ponce’s top-tier
bangers and beats will draw the listeners of 1ST.ONE, both old and new.
jikamarie goes on to say, “I am very happy on how 1ST.ONE gave the song and this
collaboration their own style and color giving it a new sound and a new life.”
Ken Ponce, music producer, goes on to add, “Truly this is a new sound and
revolutionary era of 1ST.ONE’s music, which I am happy to be a part of, and this is just a
“patikim” of their upcoming album.”
According to 1ST.ONE Ace, “Her contributions not only elevated the song’s energy but also
added depth to its narrative. It’s like creating a dialogue between artists as we explored themes
of attraction and desire. We really needed a female voice in there and Jika Marie, the songwriter
herself was, we think, the perfect fit.”
1ST.ONE Alpha added, “Para sa akin ha? Kaming mga members and Jika Marie, we collectively pushed boundaries to redefine the essence of sensuality in Gusto Mo Ba.”
Visually, 1ST.ONE Max said, “We tried to amplify the sensuality through our performances
and striking aesthetics. Our music video and stage presentations, I think, reflect this new direction, using lighting, choreography, and fashion that enhance the emotional weight of Gusto Mo Ba.”
1ST.ONE Jayson added, “It isn’t just about music eh; it’s also about creating a holistic
artistic expression. We make sure to add layer after layer of authenticity that hopefully will
resonate with fans.”
“Tinatanong namin kung, Gusto Mo Ba? It’s a question that’s both intimate and inviting
di ba?” 1ST.ONE Joker quipped.
J on the other hand says, “We are creating a sensual listening experience here, I hope the
listeners will really connect with Gusto Mo Ba. Not just enjoy it but also love it and remember it for the rest of their lives.”
The sensuality of 1ST.ONE is not only about their new sound but also about the
connections they forge with their audience. As Ace, Alpha, Max, J, Joker, and Jayson continue to
evolve, they are also redefining the boundaries of P-Pop.
With each new release, 1ST.ONE proves that they are not just a boy band; they are an
evolving musical force that’s here to stay. After all, 1ST.ONE will always be Rulers, Rebels, and now, Lovers
