After five years of perseverance, growth, and self-discovery, P-pop group 1ST.ONE is finally set to release its long-awaited first full-length album, GIGIL.
More than just a collection of songs, the album represents the group’s journey of finding its identity and defining what they now proudly call the 1ST.ONE sound.
“For us, this album isn’t just about finding the right sound. It’s about everything we’ve gone through during the past five years,” the group shared.
Member Ace summed up the group’s mindset ahead of the release.
“Enough is enough. We are ready to make a bigger mark.”
The album features 10 tracks, including its title song “GIGIL,” and serves as a reflection of the group’s experiences since their debut.
According to the members, every song tells a piece of their story—their struggles, lessons, dreams, and unwavering commitment to continue pursuing their passion despite the challenges they encountered along the way.
Rather than presenting a flawless record, the group hopes listeners will hear something more meaningful.
“We’re not asking everyone to listen to a perfect album. We want people to hear five years of getting back up, learning, and discovering who we really are as artists.”
The members said the project symbolizes not perfection but persistence.
To mark both the release of GIGIL and the group’s sixth anniversary, 1ST.ONE will hold the GIGIL Album Launch Party on August 1, 2026, at Dogzilla Studios.
The celebration is dedicated to FOR.ONE, the group’s loyal fandom, whose unwavering support helped sustain the members throughout their five-year journey toward completing their debut album.
Admission to the launch party is free, with fans encouraged to secure their slots by registering through Jing.ph, the country’s newest social media platform and the event’s official partner.
Composed of Ace, Max, Alpha, J, Jason, and Russ, 1ST.ONE believes GIGIL marks the beginning of a new era for the group.
After years of refining their music and identity, the members are now ready to introduce a sound they can truly call their own—one shaped by resilience, passion, and the determination to leave a lasting mark on the growing P-pop industry.
