Dam (song)

"Dam" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song recorded by the Filipino boy band SB19 for their third extended play (EP), Simula at Wakas (2025). The band's leader, Pablo, co-wrote and co-produced the song with Joshua Daniel Nase and Simon Servida. It is a hip-hop track with elements of EDM, folk, industrial, and progressive rock. In the lyrics, the narrator discusses his struggles and desire to become a better version of himself while upholding self-integrity and determination. The song was released by Sony Music Philippines on February 28, 2025, as the EP's lead single.

The single received favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the song's genre-blending and instrumentation. Critics also compared its music to the group's earlier releases, like "What?" (2021) and "Gento" (2023). The single achieved commercial success, peaking at number four on the Philippines Hot 100 and at number one on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales—becoming the first song by a Filipino artist to top the chart. Elsewhere, "Dam" peaked at the top 10 in the United Arab Emirates and the top 20 in the Middle East and North Africa and Saudi Arabia.

The accompanying music video—directed by Alanshiii—is set in a dark, medieval fantasy world. It depicts the members of SB19 as mythical creatures, attempting to save a tree of life. The video received praise for its visuals and production quality, and became one of the most-viewed music videos by a Filipino artist in its first 24 hours of release. To promote "Dam", an installation art was displayed in Taguig and the band performed the song live on television and numerous other occasions. The group also included the track on the set list of their Simula at Wakas World Tour (2025). "Dam" was nominated for Song of the Year at the Filipino Music Awards 2025.
