Being known for their strong and charismatic persona, the group will showcase their fierceness in their latest comeback, &#x27;Problem Child.&#x27;</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f28bce98-765e-41af-9d88-d5a5556a6b53_batch_studio session-071-2 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Philippine Pop boy group 1ST.ONE - comeback with " Problem=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Jayson</strong>, the group’s <em>maknae</em> and rapper shares, “It was definitely a blast working with them [CHECK]. I&#x27;m very thankful because they gave us a unique experience compared to the past music videos that we have done. We are very grateful that they took care of us so well.”</p><div><br/></div><p>Aside from the impressive production of the song, &#x27;Problem Child&#x27; really pushes the boundaries when it comes to its musicality. <strong>Max</strong>, the group’s main vocalist, mentions how it is their toughest and heaviest song yet, not just with its choreography but also lyrically.</p><div><br/></div><p>The track has an interesting concept of “breaking the norm,” referring to an existing defective system filled with “inequality, disorder, and machinations.” It tackles the idea of initiating change and making it right in our own way. Jayson talks about the likes of Robin Hood who steals from the rich to help the poor, while in the process, not glorifying doing bad deeds to achieve a good end but is more of being willing to sacrifice oneself in order to make things right. <br/></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d4cb47d1-c306-49e8-a983-5a4048f9dacb_batch_studio session-058-2 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Philippine Pop boy group 1ST.ONE - comeback with " Problem=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>“You can think of Robin Hood and Batman as vigilantes, and many more heroes being misdirected as villains by a corrupt system. Nevertheless, they remain as heroes within themselves still willing to sacrifice continuously even if they are considered the bad ones,” he reiterates.</p><div><br/></div><p>This concept explores a territory in P-Pop that has never been completely looked at, that’s why <strong>J</strong>, one of 1ST.ONE’s rappers, hopes that this comeback will be a good representation of the future of the P-Pop industry, aiming to expand and grow more. </p><div><br/></div><p>As for upcoming projects, <strong>Alpha</strong>, one of the group’s rappers, wants to take Philippine Pop to the highest level. And to achieve this, he aims on collaborating with fellow P-Pop artists such as Alamat, <a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/p-pop-boy-group-bgyo-on-the-cover-of-metro/33266" target="_blank">BGYO</a>, <a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/p-pop-girl-group-bini-on-the-cover-of-metro/33265" target="_blank">BINI</a>, <a href="https://metro.style/people/celebrities/cornerstone-entertainment-vxon-on-metro-chats/32604" target="_blank">VXON</a>, KAIA, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/metrodotstyle/videos/metro-chats-with-ginnyvillegas-and-g22/490855899414712/" target="_blank">G22</a>, and PHP. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/515d4a9f-911e-41c1-8c7f-140cbfa3e780_batch_studio session-151-2.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Philippine Pop boy group 1ST.ONE - comeback with " Problem=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The rapper further states, “Initially, of course, we&#x27;d love to kick things off with our dream collaborations within the P-Pop industry, and that would be with DIONE and SB19. We go way way way back just with these 2 groups. We think it&#x27;s going to be an explosion.” </p><div><br/></div><p>Not failing to mention their supporters who they call “<strong>For.One</strong>,” meaning “Forever One” for wanting to be with them through ups and downs until the end, the P-Pop ensemble ensures them that their comeback will push the group’s limits and get them out of the box they are used to being in. </p><div><br/></div><p>The other members of 1ST.ONE are leader and main vocalist <strong>Ace</strong> and lead vocalist <strong>Joker</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j83smIDiVzw" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><strong><em>&#x27;Problem Child&#x27; will be released on January 31, 2023 and can be streamed through Spotify, Apple Music, and other music platforms.
