Fresh off the success of their debut “O’ Kay Tamis,” rising OPM band It All Started In May (IASIM) is back with their second single, “Pasado,” now streaming on all major platforms. Released just a month after their debut, the track is a response to strong demand from their fast-growing fanbase, the Mayopets, a clever mix of “Mayo” (May) and “malupet” (cool or impressive).
“Pasado” explores the feeling of admiring someone from a distance, questioning whether you’re good enough to meet their standards. With lines like “Mali nga ba ang humanga sa isang katulad mo?” and the chorus “Coz it feels like you’re out of my league… parang hindi pasado, pasado sa iyo!” the song captures vulnerability wrapped in an upbeat, catchy melody.

Lighthearted and easy to vibe with, “Pasado” is a feel-good track that fits seamlessly into any playlist. Its infectious hook and relatable theme make it a standout follow-up for both loyal fans and new listeners.
The band consists of Red (lead vocals, guitar), Mikee (drums), Jai (keyboard), Pau (rhythm guitar, vocals), and JP (bass, vocals). Their debut single “O’ Kay Tamis” was featured in six Spotify editorial playlists and widely used across social media, a major milestone for a new group.
With momentum on their side, IASIM is just getting started. More music and live gigs are on the horizon.
Here’s the lyrics of Pasado.
Pasado
It All Started in May
(Verse 1)
Mali nga ba ang humanga sa isang katulad mo?
Kung ikaw ay langit gagawin kitang aking templo
(Pre Chorus)
Magtyatyaga nalang akong tumitig sa iyong litrato
Gabi-gabing natutuliro
Sa ‘yo
(Chorus)
Coz’ it feels like you’re out of my league, out of my league, oh baby!
Parang hindi
Parang hindi
Parang hindi
Pasado, pasado sa iyo!
Pasado, pasado sa iyo!
(Verse 2)
Noong nakita ka sa restaurant na
Hindi ko afford
Nahihiyang ayain ka sa lugawan
Sa may kanto
(Pre Chorus)
Lumalala lalalala na yata ang aking tama
Gabi-gabing natutuliro
Sa ‘yo
(Chorus)
Coz’ it feels like you’re out of my league, out of my league, oh baby!
Parang hindi
Parang hindi
Parang hindi
Pasado pasado sa iyo!
Pasado pasado sa iyo!
Sa ‘yo!
Sa ‘yo!
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Piano solo)
(Outro)
Pasado, pasado sa iyo
Pasado, pasado sa iyo
Pasado, pasado sa iyo
Pasado, pasado.
