DABDA releases 'ON(百)' music video and announces 2026 world tour

Artist DABDA has delivered a philosophical message about life through the official music video for the new single 'ON(百)'.

The meaning and message of 'living ON(百)'

According to the video description, 'ON(百)' carries a message connected to the first album, 'But, All The Shining Things Are'. The description provides a philosophical definition of 'living ON(百)', specifying that it is not about living a life that is completely filled to the brim, but rather the attitude of vowing to live until the very end.

The song addresses the struggle between the vast process of dividing one's body, mind, and time into 100 parts to live fully, and the reality of an ordinary life where things are involuntarily lost under the guise of conserving physical strength. Through this, DABDA questions whether one can truly say they have lived completely, while expressing the determination to keep living regardless.

Production credits

DABDA led the composition and arrangement of this track. However, for tracks 2, 3, 6, and 9 (per the video description), DABDA and Joseph Lee collaborated on composition and arrangement. Jiae Kim wrote the lyrics, while DABDA handled producing, performance, and recording. Mixing was performed by Keohyun Noh, and mastering was handled by Aepmah (@AFMLaboratory). The music video was directed by NOKO (@noko_by).
