So kapag in love ka, kapag may crush ka ganon sapul sa puso, kaya Sapulso,” he explained.  </p><p>Drawing the line between <em>Sapulso</em> and their first EP <em>1621BC</em>, the P-pop group admitted they have mustered more confidence and found their own style this time around.  </p><p>“Siguro from the first [EP], at that point parang hinahanap pa namin ‘yung sound namin. So, we tried different styles, different genres. So, maybe ‘yung advantage namin sa second EP namin is nahanap na namin ‘yung sound namin. Parang this is us as 1621. &#x27;Pag may song kami, parang ‘ah ito sila.’ Nahanap na namin yung identity namin, parang nahanap namin ‘yung song namin,” Pan told entertainment reporters.  </p><p>Supporting Pan’s statement, JM further explained: “With this second EP, nag-explore po talaga kami ng different genres. We did try ‘yung mga ‘Bagamundo,’ ‘yung mga dark concepts, and then we did bubblegum pop songs. So actually,  dito po talaga namin na-receive ‘yung reaction ng mga supporters from social media platforms na ‘bagay sa kanila mga ganitong songs, ito ‘yung song na nagsu-suit talaga sa kanila. So doon po namin na-realize na ‘ah oo nga naman, ‘yun talaga ‘yung song namin kasi pag-pinerform po namin para mas confident, comfortable kami.” </p><p>In less than 24 hours, <em>Sapulso</em> already reached over 100,000 streams on Spotify.  </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DITvhG8T6UG/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A121013.09999990463%2C%22ls%22%3A120455.39999985695%2C%22le%22%3A120998.69999980927%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>ABS-CBN record label Star Pop was quick to express its gratitude for the P-pop group’s supporters. </p><p>“Guardians, we just reached a new milestone together with you,” it wrote in an Instagram post.  </p><p>The successful milestone was likewise announced during the EP launch, delighting the fans who attended the event.</p><div><a href="https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2023/11/24/star-pop-launches-ppop-boy-group-1621bc?lang=en"><strong><u>READ: Star Pop launches newest P-pop boy group 1621BC</u></strong></a></div><p>The P-pop group 1621 made their debut in 2023 with their single “Laruan.” Their self-titled EP featured songs that revolved around “different stages of young love” in the following year. </p><div><a href="https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2024/2/8/1621bc-debut-ep?lang=en"><strong><u>READ: 1621BC drops self-titled debut EP</u></strong></a></div><p>The said group was group after its members’ stints on the survival reality show <em>Dream Maker</em>.</p>
