"It’s been a year, the word 'hiatus' may sound negative but we took it from a different perspective. We maximized the opportunity to think more as to what we can improve on, how we can prepare for our comeback,” said SB19's Stell, in an official press statement.
"We are thrilled to be releasing a new song for our fans. Bigger, better. I hope that A'TIN will appreciate at best the work we've done for our upcoming tour," added Ken.
'WYAT' comes ahead of SB19's major headlining concert at Manila's Smart Araneta Coliseum this 17 September. It comes as the first of a series of concerts the 'WHAT?' hitmakers have planned for the rest of the year.
“This will be the first time for us to be going out of the country for our own concert,” shared Josh. “We’re excited to meet our international fans. If I may put it: we were caterpillars inside cocoons when we were just starting and now, we've turned into butterflies ready to spread our wings."

The tour, and its coinciding teasers, are said to be the product of the group's collective and individual creative efforts, with each member taking charge of various aspects of the creative process.
"One idea led to another. We started plotting everything: from teasers to the actual music video, every post, down to the last detail," said Justin.
“Josh tweaks a bit of everything, from choreography to the direction of our shoots. He and Pablo have a big role in decision-making. Ken helps with the creative process, from how the dances should look to the set design. Aside from being the main choreographer, Stell also shares ideas on how to promote our comeback. I highly consider what the other members, management, staff and other people around me think. It really takes a village and is a healthy collaboration.”
