In his exclusive chat with Aubrey Carampel for 24 Oras, the multi-talented actor shared how he wrote the song.
“Sinulat ko ito para sa mga mahal ko sa buhay ganiyan. Sa mga tao na mayroong kaniya-kaniyang paborito na tao, na person sa buhay nila, mga paboritong bagay, basta ganun.” Will said. He added, “Very Gen-Z siya. Kumbaga pang usual na sinasabi ng mga kaedad ko sa mga minahal nila.”
