The Filipino girl group returns to the global spotlight with their top-tier performance

Filipino girl group 4^th Impact recently wowed the Korean audience with their impactful performance at the 2022 Asia Song Festival last October 14, 2022.

Drawing praises for showcasing their vocal chops and versatility, the award-winning sister act put their deft spin on BTS’ global smash “Dynamite,” while dishing out their own originals “Tapat Sa’yo” and “Here We Go” like pros.

After a well-received performance, the ShowBT/Sony Music Entertainment talent took time to express their gratitude to the international fans who supported their performance on the prestigious music showcase.

“Thank you so much to 2022 아송페 Asia Song Festival for having us,” posted the former British X Factor finalists on social media. “We are honored to be with great artists.”

This year’s Asia Song Festival aims to promote cultural exchanges among Asian countries through music performances that feature the finest acts from the region, as well as established and up-and-coming K-Pop artists. Hosted by Korean stars Daehwi Lee and Seunghee, the 2022 Asia Song Festival put a spotlight on music acts hailing from Kazakhstan, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

4^th Impact, the country’s delegate to the globally renowned music festival, is no stranger to the international audience. They first made waves in the UK after placing fifth in the competition, and earning the distinction of having the most viewed video in the history of X-Factor with their incredible take on Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang.” They have also notched a hit in Brazil with their 2020 “K(NO)W MORE” peaking inside the top 10 of iTunes.

The award-winning Filipino girl group joins SB19 and KAIA as part of Sony Music and ShowBT family

It’s official: 4th Impact is the newest addition to Sony Music Philippines and ShowBT Philippines’ roster of music talents, which include P-Pop kings SB19 and five-member girl group KAIA.

No stranger to conquering the international music scene, 4th Impact made waves in the UK after finishing fifth on the British singing contest, The X Factor and peaking at No. 10 on iTunes Brazil with their 2020 single “K(NO)W MORE.” Late last year, the award-winning girl group co-headlined the crossover orchestra concert, Forte with SB19, which received glowing reviews for its exemplary fusion of classical and Pinoy pop music on a live stage format.

After being officially welcomed by Sony Music Philippines and ShowBT Philippines as part of the family, 4th Impact expressed gratitude for the interesting developments in their career. “It’s an answered prayer for us,” the sister act shares in a statement. “We once prayed for a management who will really take care of us and believe in what we can do. We feel ShowBT and Sony Music are the right companies to help us reach more of our dreams. And it is such a great honor to be part of their roster and be lined up with the P-Pop Kings: SB19.”

To mark the beginning of this eventful partnership, 4th Impact has released their new single “Here We Go,” which was produced by Choi YoungHo (Handsome People) and Zrademusic (Adrian K, Methuselah K.). With a masterful blend of R&B diva chops, hip-hop sass, and stadium-sized energy, the upbeat track positions 4th Impact as a vocal powerhouse deserving of global acclaim.

“We wanted it to be a new anthem,” said the chart-topping quartet. “It’s an empowering song that aims to celebrate Filipinas all around the world, and how they’ve shown grace and excellence amidst troubling times.”

4th Impact revealed that it’s their first time writing a song, and that their own life story is the main inspiration behind the lyrics. “We wanted to empower everyone, especially Filipino women, to believe in themselves and hold on to their dreams. Everything is possible if we just work together as one.”

The pop-R&B jam is accompanied by a music video which finds the Cercado sisters Almira, Irene, Mylene, and Celina looking all sassy and confident in a star-making performance. It’s also part of 4th Impact’s first single album, which contains the following tracks:

1. Here We Go

2. K(no)w More

3. Here We Go (Instrumental)

4. K(no)w More (Instrumental)
