Background and release

After the lukewarm reception of their debut single "Tilaluha", SB19 had almost decided to quit and go on separate ways.[2] Josh shared reasons which is about how hard for performers in the country to earn money for a living as well as the stress in training.[3] They dedicate everything they experienced on their second single "Go Up" which they described as their "last shot".[4] Each of the members dedicated for whom they go up for: Justin goes up for himself first so that he can start helping others; Ken goes up for his goals; Stell said he goes up for his family because of their unending support; Josh goes up for himself sharing his terrible childhood history; Pablo go up for himself, family, and everyone who believes in him.[5]

"Go Up" was composed by Oh Won Lee and Glow, with lyrics by SB19 member Pablo. Oh Won Lee and Glow also arranged the song, and Oh Won Lee is also credited as producer. The recording, mixing and mastering were done at RealBros Sound Studio in South Korea.

"Go Up" was released on July 19, 2019. It was released first by the group before "Alab (Burning)" instead even it was already finished recording.[6] After a couple of months being released, "Go Up" received very minimal reception and the group already decided to stop. However, on September 2, 2019, a fan posted the dance practice video on Twitter and Facebook,[7] promoting the group and saying that she "didn't feel any cringe at all" while listening to the song. Her post quickly gained traction, and after that, SB19 became viral giving them their career breakthrough.[8]

Ito yung nagstart ng everything, kung ano man yung meron kami ngayon. Mayroon kaming A'TIN dahil sa 'Go Up'. [...] Kung hindi po nagwork, maggigive up na kami pero fortunately pinagpala po kami at nakilala po yung grupo namin...natupad na pangarap. (This started everything, whatever we have today. We have A'TIN because of 'Go Up'. [...] If it didn't work, we would have given up, but fortunately, we were blessed and our group became known...a dream come true.)

— Pablo, Rappler[9]
