“I like the lyrics. Nu’ng ipinarinig pa lang sa akin ‘yung demo nun, ‘yun na po ang pinakagusto ko. Parang bagay siya sa teleserye. Malalim ang ibig sabihin ng kanta. Tapos ‘yung areglo niya…’yung melody parang talagang mapi-feel mo. Masarap kantahin,” she enthuses about the song.
As for its carrier single, “Timang,”it was his producer, Boy Christopher who decided on it to become the carrier single.
“Gusto ko rin po, it is a beautiful song. catchy po talaga siya nu’ng marinig ko ‘yung demo. Nilagyan pa nila ng live na acoustic guitar. ‘Yun ang kakaiba sa song na ‘yun kung ikukumpara dun sa laman ng album,” she explains.

“Pero ngayon nag-mature na po ako. Wala ring lovelife. Merong manliligaw pero ‘yung commitment na sobrang serious, wala po. Kasi nga over na ako sa ‘timang days’.
