“I wrote that song in less than 10-15 minutes. Dahil nasulat ko siya ng eksatong when that happened. So, hindi ko alam pero maraming artists na ganoon na bigla lang, yun pa yung pinapakinggan ng mga tao, yung mabilisan nilang nagagawa. Siguro, I was just really inspired during that moment. Dahil after ‘Sana’, it takes me a long time to properly finish a song,” Argee revealed.

“Kapag nasa labas kami, tapos nakikilala kami ng mga restaurant. They usually play it, or sa mga mall. Sinasabi ko na, huwag na po kasi baka, ano, dumugin tayo. Pero tara, mag-picture tayo or whatever you guys want. Kasi parang yun yung lagi nilang go-to. Thankful ho kami kapag ginagawa yun sa mga lugar na pinuntahan,” he shared.

“Para sa akin, whenever people listen to my song, ayoko naman silang palungkutin. Pero parang, I want them to feel that emotion while listening to the songs and then move on from that. Na parang, o sige magpalungkot na tayo with what we're listening to. Pero eventually, sana hopeful pa rin siya na okay, move on na tayo next chapter,” he pointed out.

He went on teasing what fans can expect with their band: “Right now, we're just busy writing new material. And hopefully, magkaroon kami ng major concert in the future. Tapos makatugtog kami sa ibang kansa, which I think is in the works.”
