The idea was conceived by then-TV5 Entertainment Chief Strategist Vic del Rosario. In early 2010, del Rosario planned to launch BTBAS with Viva talent Sarah Geronimo and the newest Kapatid personality at the time, Willie Revillame as hosts. The later came to fruition when del Rosario joined the ranks of TV5's entertainment department.

In the inaugural season, Ogie Alcasid, Mark Bautista and Yassi Pressman served as the show's main hosts, while OPM hitmakers Aiza Seguerra, Andrew E., Pops Fernandez and Rico Blanco served as the judges of the singing competition open for aspiring 13- to 18-year-old singers. [3]

The grand winner of the competition would take home a total of 3 million pesos of prizes including a 1 million-peso cash prize, a management contract from TV5 and Viva Artists Agency and a house and lot.

According to Monti Parungao, the show's director, the contestants would have to pass the two pre-audition processes before they would make it in the competition. [4] In the weekly rounds, four contestants will be introduced per week and in the beginning of the performance, the program tackled the stories (or makings of a star) of the contestants before joining the competition. The winner of the weekly round will undergo make-over sessions and vocal lessons. [1] All winners of the weekly rounds will be qualified for the monthly round, of which one contestant will then move on to the grand finals. [5] [6]

The first grand finals of Born to Be a Star was held on May 29, 2016, with Shanne Dandan as its grand winner. [7]

In October 2020, Viva Entertainment announced that Born to Be a Star would be returning for a second season on TV5, slated to air on January 30, 2021. [8] In January 2021, Viva and TV5 announced that Matteo Guidicelli and Kim Molina would serve as the new hosts in Season 2, replacing the trio of Alcasid, Bautista, and Pressman.
