Gimme 5 was a Filipino male pop group affiliated with the Star Music label.
History
Gimme 5 made their first appearance in 2013 on the variety program ASAP 18, where they performed "Glad You Came" by British boy band the Wanted. Although initially recognizing their developing vocal abilities, the ensemble honed their talents in singing, dancing, and modeling, which helped expand their presence on social media platforms.
Their debut album, titled Gimme 5, was launched in November 2014 under Star Music. The group also took lead roles in the television drama Bagito, sharing the screen with Alexa Ilacad, Ella Cruz, and Angel Aquino. The series concluded in March 2015.
During an interview with Myx, the band revealed that they selected the name "Gimme 5" instead of "Baby Boys," which they felt lacked style. Following the end of Bagito, they resumed touring to promote their album, selling out venues throughout the Philippines and strengthening connections with their fan base. Among memorable encounters was a fan event at the Albay Astrodome in Legazpi.
In June 2015, Gimme 5 received their inaugural accolade as "Most Promising Recording/Performing Group" at the 46th GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards.
On August 14, 2015, they were the main act for Teen Power: The Kabataan Pinoy Concert Party held at the Aliw Theater in Pasay, performing alongside the PBB 737 Teen Housemates. The following month, they triumphed in the Clash of Celebrities competition during the sixth anniversary celebration of It's Showtime at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
After wrapping up their final tour stop in Dagupan on May 7, 2016, the members began focusing more on individual acting pursuits.
In 2017, Gimme 5 unveiled their second album titled Sophomore through Star Music. This release included five fresh tracks, two of which were penned by group members Nash Aguas ("First Love") and Joaquin Reyes ("Hindi Ko Alam").
