The collaboration centers on SB19’s electrifying new banger “DUNGKA!,” inspired by the game’s key phrase, “REV IT UP.” Combining the P-Pop group’s genre-defying sound with cinematic battle sequences from the beloved title, the music video captures the game’s exhilarating world and generates a whirlwind of excitement.

    “We are truly honored to collaborate with a distinguished title celebrated for its sophisticated combat system and exceptional gameplay,” SB19 shares in an official statement. “As avid enthusiasts of interactive video games, we are thrilled by the opportunity to contribute to a project of this scale and significance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to SNK Corporation for initiating this partnership and entrusting us with the chance to be part of such an iconic franchise. This collaboration has been an immensely rewarding experience, and we are sincerely grateful for its outcome.”

    The collaborative effort coincides with the recent release of SB19’s third EP, featuring one of the new singles “DUNGKA!” The 7-track collection offers a candid reflection on the personal and artistic journey of the group amid fame, pressure, and the search for identity. The EP is written and produced by SB19 with their trusted pool of international and local collaborators, including Xerxes Bakker, Alawn, August Rigo, Simon Servida, and Josue (RADKIDZ).

    Tier One Entertainment created BLACKOUT to bring the community together into a night where anyone can make it whatever they want it to be. A gathering of friends, a moment for music, or a day to create experiences, BLACKOUT is a concept that’s built and anchored by the community.

  • From iTunes PH to PBB to TikTok, David Licauco’s “I Think I Love You” Makes an Impression!

    From iTunes PH to PBB to TikTok, David Licauco’s “I Think I Love You” Makes an Impression!

    There is no stopping David Licauco. Apart from being a popular actor, in-demand endorser, and successful entrepreneur, he is now also a recording artist signed under Universal Records, who just released the song “I Think I Love You.”


    Written by Luke April Isnani and Ivo Impreso, “I Think I Love You” is a catchy and upbeat song about realizing that you’re developing strong emotions for someone — something that a lot of people can relate to.


    Last May 15, a few minutes before the drop of his single, David went live on his TikTok account for a single salubong while he was in Lujo Bar in Poblacion. At the strike of midnight, he celebrated with his fans online and was surprised when the DJ at Lujo suddenly played “I Think I Love You.”
    Before the song was even released, it was actually featured in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition. David entered Bahay ni Kuya as a Houseguest and after sharing with Kuya what his song is about, David was told that the Housemates would be divided into two groups — Team Kapamilya and Team Kapuso — and tasked to come up with a dance choreography for “I Think I Love You.”
    Talented Will Ashley led Team Kapuso, crafting choreography and formations for his group. Esnyr, on the other hand, led Team Kapamilya; he recognized that their group didn’t have high-level dancers, so they focused on delivering a fun and creative number inspired by high school performances and Christmas party presentations.


    In the end, David chose Team Kapamilya as the winner, praising their synchronized and well-thought-out routine. David rewarded them with lollipops, something that the Housemates appreciated and enjoyed.
    “I Think I Love You” is currently getting a lot of love online. On the day of its release, it was number five on the Top Songs list of iTunes Philippines, making it the only OPM song to make it to the top 5.


    On TikTok, several supporters are using the audio for fan-made edits of David and his onscreen partner Barbie Forteza. A lot of people have also been dancing to it and making their own choreography for it, including TikToker Miko Yanson, who is famous for coming up with dance choreos for a lot of trending songs online.


    David releasing “I Think I Love You” was something a lot of people didn’t expect, but it is definitely a pleasant surprise especially for his fans. During his PBB guesting, David shared: “I really just wanted to try everything — sa showbiz, sa buhay. One of those is releasing a song; yun na nga po yung ‘I Think I Love You’ — para po sa mga taong may gusto pero di pa niya masabi.” With the good reception to “I Think I Love You,” we won’t be surprised if and when David releases another song.

  • Global Superstar Avril Lavigne teams up with Simple Plan on anthemic new song “Young & Dumb” out now!

    Global Superstar Avril Lavigne teams up with Simple Plan on anthemic new song “Young & Dumb” out now!

    2025 EXTENSION OF AVRIL’S ACCLAIMED GREATEST HITS TOUR LAUNCHES MAY 18

    LOS ANGELES, CA – Diamond-certified global superstar Avril Lavigne released a perfectly raucous new song and music video for “Young & Dumb” featuring Simple Plan. Listen to the song and watch the video HERE.

    A nostalgic yet modern anthem, “Young & Dumb” first finds Avril reflective on verse one as she looks back on the carefree early days of her career and ‘livin’ like a rockstar’ before Simple Plan jumps ‘20 years later’ to present day in verse two and details how ‘somehow it feels like nothing’s changed.’ The video echoes the song’s sentiment and celebrates life on the road as it cuts between scenes of Avril and Simple Plan ‘trashin’ hotel rooms,’ a punk performance in an empty pool, and partying on the tour bus.

    Avril announced the song Monday with a heartfelt social media post, reflecting on its meaning and origins, and dedicating it to fans: “This is such a full-circle moment. Not only did Simple Plan tour with me last year on the Greatest Hits Tour, but we also toured together in 2003 on my very first arena tour. We were so young – just a bunch of kids from small towns in Canada who had just released our debut albums. We connected instantly and became friends. A few months ago, I called them up, and we got together in the studio to write ‘Young & Dumb.’ We wanted to capture that special time in our lives – when everything was new, and we were chasing our dreams. This song is for our fans. It’s a tribute to the past, but also a celebration of the present. In our hearts, we’re still those same kids, and our love for music hasn’t changed. It’s about friendship, nostalgia, and the way music has kept us connected through the years. I can’t wait to share it with you live this summer.”

    “We’re so excited to finally release a song with our good friend Avril,” said Simple Plan“After years of touring and hanging out together, getting in the studio to work on this track was such a cool experience. She’s incredibly talented, and we’re truly grateful she invited us to be part of it and help bring the song to life. The lyrics speak to the special bond we’ve shared since we first toured together back in 2003. We became friends right away, and what’s amazing is how that friendship has only grown stronger over the years. So many of our fans have been asking for this collab for a long time, and we really hope they love ‘Young and Dumb’ as much as we do.  We can’t wait to hit the road again on the Greatest Hits Tour this summer and play it live every night—it’s going to be a blast!”

    “Young & Dumb” comes just before the 2025 extension of her highly successful, sold-out North American Greatest Hits Tour launches and will again see Avril perform her biggest songs to-date including the RIAA 3x platinum-certified “Complicated,” the 2x platinum-certified “Sk8er Boi,” the 2x platinum-certified “Girlfriend,” the platinum-certified “Here’s To Never Growing Up,” and many more from her record-breaking catalog.

    Produced by Live Nation, the 19-date tour kicks off on Sunday, May 18 in Moncton, NB at Avenir Centre, with additional stops across the U.S. and Canada in Halifax, New York, Columbus, St. Louis, Jacksonville, and more before wrapping up on Friday, June 27 in Bethel, NY at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Notably, the run of dates includes a massive stadium performance at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, and a show at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. Special guests Simple Plan will join Avril on all U.S. dates, while Fefe Dobson will join on all Canadian dates. We The Kings will join on select U.S. and Canada dates. Upcoming mainstage festival performances include Bonnaroo, the 2025 Vans Warped Tour and more along with a headlining set at All Your Friends Fest on June 29 in Ontario at Burls Creek. For all dates and information, please visit avrillavigne.com.

    In 2024, Avril returned to the stage with a massive run of sold-out Greatest Hits dates across North America, including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Scotiabank Arena and Budweiser Stage in Toronto, MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and many more. Avril also completed a successful run of UK and European performances this summer, including appearances at major festivals like Glastonbury in Glastonbury, UK, Rock For People in Hradec, Czechia, Nova Rock Festival in Nickelsdorf, Austria, Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, and Madcool Festival in Madrid, Spain, and more. She also treated fans to two special UK headline shows at Cardiff Castle and Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.

    “Young & Dumb” was released in partnership with LA-based Big Noise Music Group, a music enterprise bringing a fresh twist on alternative pop punk culture.
