⧠fun facts
01. prism decided to release as if itâs your last as a single since they wanted to focus on more projects throughout the year.
02. the choreography was a collaborative effort between all of the groupâs members. this is the first choreography jae and mystie have helped create.
03. though the song has more a summer-like vibe, the girls were eager to show off their work and improvement. february was chosen because of the valentineâs day holiday.
04. the school girl outfits were serenaâs idea. she hadnât been expecting it to get accepted. it helped a lot with their image, showing they can also handle cute concepts without losing their original sound.
05. this was the release that began to really draw in more fans, especially international fans. while not their âit-songâ, as if itâs your last is one of prismâs well-known tracks.
06. amihan wasnât entirely sure where she wanted to go for her solo debut. she tossed around a lot of ideas for the track before settling on the cluster of ideas that eventually became âbombâ.
07. she was the most nervous about performing alone on music shows. amihan stated in one of her instagram captions that it was weird not having the members there performing with her.
08. while ashes contributed to the lyrics and choreography, she wasnât the main writer or choreographer of the song. most of her contributions were just small tweaks as to make it more comfortable or true to her.
09. she once tweeted that the choreography of bomb is probably one of her favorites to perform.
10. birthday was a fun track meant to celebrate serenaâs own birthday with the fans. the lyrics are meant to be her own take of how she wishes she could think.
11. while she does a lot for prism as a whole, working on her solo was one of the most difficult projects sheâs ever done. the final release was the tenth draft of the song and the final choreography was the fifteenth attempt.
12. serena struggled to perform on her own, often finding herself feeling alone on stage. though she had backup dancers, it wasnât the same as having her group members by her side. she cancelled one music show appearance because of this feeling.
13. she likes to think of the birthday promotions as a learning experience. serena has learned her limits and she feels ready to try again at another point in time, should she get the chance.
14. the initial idea for mystieâs solo debut was a fun track to dance to with a deeper meaning, and thus, she began to work on her own project from mid-2018 until itsâ release in november.
15. while mystie had practice with writing her own lyrics, choreography was another story; the eldest of prism looked to her younger members for guidance. serena helped clean the moves mystie presented to her.
16. the title of the song was chosen to be solo for the message in the lyrics, as well as being the face of mystieâs solo debut. the lyrics shining solo really resonate with the latter, and are her favorite within the song.
17. promotions for solo were held in november to december, the goodbye stage taking place december 10th; with three of four wins, mystieâs debut was successful and the positive response from prismâs fans inspires her to one day release a full album.
