"Bazinga" (also written as "Bazinga!") is a song by Filipino boy band SB19, which was first released on their first extended play (EP), Pagsibol (2021). John Paulo Nase[b] wrote the song and produced it with Simon Servida. Sony Music Philippines released "Bazinga" as a single in October 2021.[a] It is a trap-pop-produced, reggaeton-infused, hip-hop song with lyrics about self-empowerment, and served as a response to the increasing hate the boy band received on the internet. It was described as a "wake-up call" for the band to focus more on meaningful expressions of music.

The song spent 26 weeks on the Billboard Hot Trending Songs chart, including seven weeks at number one. The song's chart performance made it one of the longest-running number-one hits on the chart, and made SB19 the first Filipino act to do so. On Spotify, one month after the release of the song's accompanying music video, "Bazinga" was streamed 4.6 million times.

Jonathan Tal Placido directed the music video for "Bazinga", which premiered on YouTube on October 29, 2021. The music video depicts SB19 defeating their enemies in an arcade combat video game; it also served as a response to the criticisms the group experienced since the beginning of their music career. SB19 performed "Bazinga" on multiple occasions. On television, they performed the song on ASAP Natin 'To in 2021 and it features for the series, Senior High in 2023. The boy band also performed the song at the 34th Awit Awards, on the Wish 107.5 Bus, and at the 58th Binibining Pilipinas pageant. "Bazinga" was also included on the set lists of their concerts Back in the Zone (2021), Our Zone (2021), and Dunkin' Presents SB19 (2022). "Bazinga" has received multiple accolades from Awit Awards and Wish 107.5 Music Awards in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
