Well, first of all, I wouldn't name any buttons with numbers - it can
confuse Rev - use something like "B1" or whatever you like. And secondly, I
would put whatever is in "it" into some other variable so you can make sure
it doesn't get messed with.

My solution below uses B1-B12 instead of 1-12, and has put "it" into tData:

put it into tData
put "JK,AB,JL,JM,GK,HK,IK,GL,HL,IL,GM,HM,IM,HN,IN,GN" into \
  tPairs
put "NextTrack,NextTrack,playpause,back,B1,B2,B3,B4,B5," & \
  "B6,B7,B8,B9,B10,B11,B12" into tBtns
repeat with x = 1 to the number of items of tPairs
  if tData contains (item x of tPairs) then
    do "send mouseUp to btn " & quote & (item x of tBtns) & quote
end repeat
