Following their explosive debut with "O' Kay Tamis," OPM sensation "It All Started In May” (IASIM) has gifted fans their second single, "Pasado," now available on all streaming platforms.
This release comes just one month after their debut — a direct response to overwhelming demand from their rapidly growing fanbase, affectionately dubbed "Mayopets" — a clever fusion of the Filipino word for May, "Mayo," and "malupet," which means impressive or cool.
"Pasado" is about admiring someone from afar, wondering if they're out of your league, filled with the uncertainty of being able to meet their standards. The song lyrically asks questions such as, "Mali nga ba ang humanga sa isang katulad mo?" ("Is it wrong to admire someone like you?") while its catchy chorus reinforces this sentiment: "Coz’ it feels like you’re out of my league, out of my league, oh baby! Parang hindi pasado, pasado sa iyo!" (It feels like I can't pass your standards).
With its fun, lighthearted, and memorable melody, "Pasado" is an easy listen that makes it a perfect addition to any playlist. Both fans and new listeners alike are sure to appreciate the infectious energy of this track.
The band is composed of five members: Red as lead vocals and guitar, Mikee on drums, Jai on keyboard, Pau on rhythm guitar and vocals, and JP on bass and vocals. They released their debut single “O’ Kay Tamis” last May and it has been well-received. Apart from the song being used by a lot of people in their social media content, “O’ Kay Tamis” has also been featured in six editorial playlists on Spotify — definitely a big achievement for a new band!
As IASIM continues to gain momentum in the music scene, fans can look forward to more exciting releases — and gigs — in the coming months.
