This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

First5 is an indian boy band that debuted on December 8, 2024, with their single "Tu Aadatein." The group consists of four members: Tan, Yoshi, Daksh, and Elton.^[1]^[2]

Name

The name "First5" represents the five members of the group, symbolizing their unity and collective strength. The "First" part of the name reflects their ambition to be pioneers in the I-pop genre, while the "5" highlights the significance of each member in the group's identity and musical collaboration.

History

Pre-debut activities

On August 6, 2023, Aksh Baghla announced auditions for selecting members for his upcoming I-pop boy band, which was conceptualized to be India’s first next-generation boy band. The auditions were part of Baghla's vision to create a group that would redefine the Indian pop music scene with a fresh, international sound and style.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Originally, the band was intended to consist of five members, with Baghla playing a central role in its development. However, during the pre-debut phase, Baghla faced challenges related to investor and management support, leading him to step back from the lineup. Despite this, he remained involved behind the scenes, continuing to guide and shape the group’s creative direction.^[1]

On December 8, 2024, They debuted with single "Tu Aadatein". The group first teased the song with a short video clip on November 25, 2024. The official music video was released alongside the single, featuring the group's performance. The song is characterized by its youthful and cheerful tone, blending contemporary pop with Indian music influences.^[6]^[7]

"You & I (Tere Saath)" is the second single released on February 12, 2025. The song, a ballad, was originally composed and written by member Elton in Karbi. The group teased the song with a short video clip on February 8, 2025, and the official music video was released on February 15, 2025. Filmed in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, showcasing the region's scenic hilly landscapes.^[4]^[8]
