'''''Pagtatag!''''' (stylized in [[All caps|all uppercase]]; {{Translation|strengthening}}) is the second [[extended play]] (EP) recorded by the Filipino boy band [[SB19]], released by [[Sony Music Philippines]] on June 9, 2023. SB19 attempted to delve into different sounds for the EP; it is primarily a [[Pop music|pop]] record, with tracks exploring [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], [[Electronic dance music|EDM]], [[Soul music|soul]], and [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] genres, all co-written by the band's leader, [[Pablo (musician)|Pablo]]. The EP was produced by Pablo, his brother Joshua Daniel Nase, Simon Servida, [[August Rigo]], Brian Lotho, Len Calvo, and Ohwon Lee.
Development on ''Pagtatag!'' began in 2022 while SB19 embarked on their first world [[Concert tour|tour]] with the [[WYAT (Where You At) Tour]] and continued after they departed from [[ShowBT Entertainment|ShowBT]] to pursue self-management. The EP is the second installment in the band's ongoing [[trilogy]] of music releases—following ''[[Pagsibol]]'' (2021). SB19 themed ''Pagtatag!'' around "identity strengthening" and explored topics on [[empowerment]], commitment, [[Love song|love]], [[mental health]], and liberation in it, some of which were inspired by the band's struggles.
''Pagtatag!'' received generally favorable reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]] with praise for the boy band's creative evolvement and the EP's musicality, lyricism, and diversity, but its closing track, "Freedom", was deemed lacking; the EP has been featured on 2023 year-end rankings and several of its songs received awards from local award-giving bodies. To support ''Pagtatag!'', SB19 performed its tracks during television and public appearances and embarked on its supporting tour, the [[Pagtatag! World Tour]] (2023–2024), which has a [[set list]] consisting of each of the EP's songs.
