Instead of having his peers on the track, he collaborated with Tom Rodriguez, one of the country’s most sought-after actor, singer, and multi-talented artist. 

Tom remains a proud Waray that was born and raised in Catbalogan, Samar. Then, he moved to the United States as a teenager. They also featured an up-and-coming artist and producer from Palo, Leyte Amiel Edward. Also known as YLMRN, he produced the music and wrote the hook. FRNCHZ described him as “The Next Big Thing that’ll come out of Region 8” due to his unlimited potential and unwavering dedication and commitment to his craft.  

Bisan pa man hain ka it kahigugmaon ko gad haim nagpapanobra

Ngan bisan la maasi’k han usa nga babaye nga baga-baga’n ada’t obra

Kay tak pagkita haim kakaiba, ha akon huna-huna di ka gud nawawara

Sige tim dalagan dai, didi tak paraiso kay ikaw gud la it bida!

Tom also mentioned that this became the first time he wrote a song that will be released commercially. Aside from that, he also felt excited for everyone to hear it.

“It is always a proud moment whenever I hear a Waray song getting played on the radio that’s the reason why I never hesitated to do this project.”
