WYAT (Where You At) Lyrics
Lately I've been feeling disconnected
Losing energy, bear with me
Lemme rejuvenate in my own time
Baby, do you hear me? Yeah, the truth is
I've been dying, 'cause the distance
Is disrupting me and you, so I'll
[Refrain: Justin]
Immediately move
Tryna find a better cue
That will sure link me to you
'Til we one and lose the two, so
[Pre-Chorus: Stell]
Let's not waste our time
And try to reconnect the lines, oh, yeah
I miss getting electrified
When I look in your eyes, oh, baby
[Chorus: All, Josh, Pablo]
Where you at?
There's no groove within this music
No sign of your heartbeat in it, I'm alone, yeah
So sad
Will I ever get connected?
'Cause you're already embedded
In my heart and soul, yeah
Thanks to all my friends and family (Hey!)
Lifting me up, keeping in touch
I know that it should be enough, no (No, no, no)
They say live your life with no regrets
How am I to live it up?
When you and I, don't know what's up, so I'll
[Refrain: Ken]
Immediately move
Tryna find a better cue
That will sure link me to you
'Til we one and lose the two, so
[Pre-Chorus: Pablo]
Let's not waste our time
And try to reconnect the lines, oh, yeah
I miss getting electrified
When I see all your smiles, oh, baby
[Chorus: All, Justin, Stell]
Where you at?
There's no groove within this music
No sign of your heartbeat in it, I'm alone, yeah
So sad
Will I ever get connected?
'Cause you're already embedded
In my heart and soul, yeah
I know we should be together
No matter what the weather, uh
Bound forever, disaster can never
Make us falter, 'cause we got each other, mm
No way Jose, I've been waiting all day (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
For y'all to come and play (Ayy, ayy)
Now tell me, where you all at?
[Pre-Chorus: Stell]
Let's not waste our time
And try to reconnect the line, oh, yeah
I miss getting electrified
Back when you're in my life, oh, baby
[Chorus: All, Ken, Justin]
Where you at?
Let's go groove into this music
Oh, I can feel all your heartbeats' in the zone, yeah
Go mad
Now that we got reconnected
We'll forever be embedded
In our hearts and souls, yeah
[Outro: All, Pablo]
Where you at?
Let's go groove into this music
Oh, I can feel all your heartbeats' in the zone, yeah
Go mad
Now that we got reconnected
We'll forever be embedded
In our hearts and souls, yeah
About
Released on Sept. 2, 2022, “WYAT (Where You At)” is SB19’s shiny, disco-pop single that marks a slew of firsts for the group. Unlike their past OPM singles, “WYAT” is fully in English and plays off today’s trending disco sound.
Co-written and produced by group leader Pablo, “WYAT” is an all-English track embracing a nostalgic sound and message to uplift those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. SB19 members share that they have worked tirelessly and have participated with personal touches to ensure everything translates perfectly.
“Right now, everything’s a bummer,” explains Pablo, who handles most of the group’s songwriting and production, over an evening Zoom call in the Philippines. “This song is about reconnecting with people. It’s different when you go out, meet people, do interesting things — climb a mountain! I would give everything to go back to the situation before where you’re not worrying if someone coughs. The song is about going back to how it was: talking and meeting actual people, doing things together, just re-creating the feeling we had before.”
“When Pablo wrote the song, I asked him what he was imagining while he’s writing the song,” adds Justin, the youngest member who takes the lead on creative direction and group visuals. “From there, I tried to make a bigger concept out of it and, of course, I asked if the group likes it and what they can add.”
Along with its retro sound, the accompanying “WYAT (Where You At)” music video takes audiences out of a stressful 2022 and transports them back to times that can make audiences of all ages nostalgic.
“Going back to the ’50s, ’70s, and ’90s eras, we researched how to show it visually and make people feel the nostalgia of things they kind of miss,” Justin explains. “We know that most of our fans are young, but we also want to reach those who experienced those times and tell young people these are the things they did. We didn’t have computers or cell phones; they’d go roller skating, enjoy parties, and hang out in the diners and arcades. Nowadays, we are kind of disconnected because of all the digital and, of course, the pandemic. It’s not just in the music video, but we are trying to connect SB19 with everything."
