Bazinga

"Bazinga" (also alternatively referred to as "Bazinga!") is a song recorded by Filipino boy band SB19 taken from their debut EP, Pagsibol (2021). John Paulo Nase wrote the song and produced it alongside Simon Servida. The song was released as a single in October 2021 by Sony Music Philippines. Musically and lyrically, it is an trap-pop produced, reggaeton-infused hip-hop song. It was written as a response to the increasing hate that the boy band received on the internet and a call to focus more on meaningful expressions of art and music.

Jonathan Placido directed the accompanying music video for "Bazinga," which premiered on YouTube on October 29, 2021 at 7PM PHT. Inspired by video games, the music video starts with SB19 can be seen hanging around and preparing for a game called Bazinga; the group was then transported as characters of the video game where they fight their enemies in an underground arena. The group addressed the critics as they sing, "hate niyo'y gasolina" (your hate's gasoline) while dancing on a stage wearing what appears to be a black and red martial arts uniform. After the characters of the video game approach a bright orange hallway, SB19 was shown cheering while an in-game voice declares that they have won. As of January 2022, the music video has over 4 million views.
