YGIG /Y·G·I·G/ (You Go, I Go) is a four-member Filipino girl group under SBTown.[1] The members consist of Vien, Jewel, Hazelyn, and Maeg.[2] They made their official debut on November 25, 2022 with their first single Shaba Shaba.[3] YGIG aims to represent the Filipino female groups in the international scene.

History

2022–present: debut, activities

Almost 20,000 girls auditioned for a girl group project organized by Show Biz Town (SBTown), SB19's former agency, in collaboration with Universal Records. Alexei, Maeg, JM, Vien, Darlene, Hazelyn, and Jewel were announced as their final line-up. The members came from different places and backgrounds; for instance, Alexei had to move from Cebu to Manila to commit to her idol dreams, Vien was from Malabon, Hazelyn hailed from Pampanga, while Jewel used to live in the United States. The group was given the name YGIG (You Go, I Go). They debuted in November 2022 with the song "Shaba, Shaba", with lyrics written by the members themselves.[4]

In May 2024, YGIG and their brother group Pluus simultaneously released self-written singles with the same name, "Universe". While Pluus' "Universe" is an upbeat disco-influenced dance-pop song, YGIG's "Universe" is a softer pop track incorporating dancehall beats.[5]
