Out today (January 28) on all digital streaming platforms via Island Records Philippines, the dreamy ballad is about falling deeply in love at an unexpected time. In a press statement, the 20-year-old singer talked about human’s innate need for companionship, thus creating “fantasies in order to fill a void and cling to people”.

This concept inspired the lyrics of the song, where the young vocalist pours such emotions throughout its three-minute run. Her intentions are emphasized as she sings, “Living in rose-colored tint / Pretending so I don’t need to quit / I’ll take the hit”.
