"Nyebe" (lit. transl. Snow) is a song by Filipino boy band SB19, released as a single on December 12, 2022. A ballad, "Nyebe" is written by John Paulo Nase who also produced it with Thyro Alfaro.
Pablo is the music video creative director for "Nyebe". It premiered on YouTube on December 12, 2022. The music video visualizer is an emotional series of images and photo-highlight of SB19's journey during its 2022 Where You At World Tour where they discuss substantial questions about happiness, worries and living in the moment. It was inspired by the calming and relatability vibe of inspirational gospel songs.[1] Nyebe was featured on the soundtrack of the movie Green Bones in 2024. [2]
John Paulo Nase wrote "Nyebe" and co-produced it with singer-songwriter and producer, Thyro Alfaro.[3] Thyro Alfaro mixed the song with Heo Chan-goo by Knob Sound Korea and also did the mastering.[4] "Nyebe" is five minutes and forty-seven seconds long. Media outlets described "Nyebe" as a heartfelt-ballad-produced, with contemporary inspirational-gospel-infused, and soulful ballad song similar to "Mapa", "Tilaluha" and "Hanggang Sa Huli". "Nyebe" also features the SB19's more reflective and emotional side, inspirational-soulful vibe of the group.
"Nyebe" contemplate the inspirational and touching side of the group.[5] As Pablo stated in the interview with Philstar Global:
“I was thinking about the feeling of hopelessness, knowing and accepting that things are changing too fast. Time doesn’t stop, things around us happen so fast. At the end of the day, matutunaw rin ang nyebe. We just have to live with it and pray, there is always a ray of hope.”
— Pablo, Philstar Global[6]
