“Dito po talaga namin na-receive ‘yung reaction ng supporters from social media platforms na ‘bagay sa kanila mga ganitong songs. Ito ‘yung song na nagsu-suit talaga sa kanila.’ So doon po namin na-realize na ‘ah oo nga naman, ‘yun talaga ‘yung song namin kasi pag-pinerform po namin para mas confident, comfortable kami,” member JM said in an interview with Push.
