P-Pop boy group 1st.One, consisting of members ACE, Max, Alpha, J, Joker and Jason has released their official music video for their song ‘Dito,’ which has been making rounds all over the P-Pop scene for the emotions it evokes in listeners. A song that can be interpreted in many ways—whether to a friend or a special someone—boils down to one universal theme: love knows no bounds. Though it may sound cliché, the song’s prowess allows it to deliver what is expected.
Several weeks have passed, and every time you look back on the official music video, you sense the intense craving it shares, yearning for a deeper connection that has yet to capture the warmth of being loved and loving in return. Despite this, the music video seized the opportunity presented by a remarkable song.
1st.One’s official music video for ‘Dito’ begins with the group members wandering around, consumed by longing for something, when suddenly a girl appears; she may be the one they’ve been seeking. However, the girl continues to run in circles, as if evading or unable to decide among them. The scene then shifts back to the boys pondering the myriad possibilities, all yearning for the girl, as if pleading, ‘Here is where you belong, where you can feel the warmth of love forever.’ They are eager to be with her, willing to chase and call out to her, urging her to stay and not flee to an undesired destination.
“I think lahat tayo may pinaghuhugutan sa puso natin. In terms of what love truly is– love of your family, relationships and whatnot. So, no matter what angle or what kind of perspective you’re coming from sana makakuha kayo ng strength sa ‘Dito’ kasi it will portray the hope for you and no matter what happens love will always be ‘Dito”, leader ACE said.

While the boys of 1st.One has emphasized that the music video is open to interpretation; the lyrics, on the other hand, express a profound yearning for love. It is a testament to love’s potency and impact on anyone. In the case of their music video, the actions depicted in the music video—running, longing, and becoming emotional over someone—mirror the sentiments expressed in the song’s lyrics. The message is clear: Don’t give up; we’ll be with you. Just wait, and let’s hold on forever. Let’s maintain hope, as love sustains the thread that connects us to hope.
