It&#x27;s very exciting for us,&quot; he added.Maris, 23, and Rico, 48, first collaborated in 2019, on a track titled &quot;Abot Langit&quot;. They also appeared in the music video for it.Rico later arranged and produced Maris&#x27; song &quot;Not For Me&quot;, which she released on her 23rd birthday last year.Of her professional relationship with Rico, Maris said in an interview with <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com">PUSH</a>: “I think it just comes naturally. Walang study, walang perfect formula for it. Pero if you get each other then automatic na &#x27;yung connection, &#x27;yung attraction or whatever you call that.&quot;Minsan kasi may songwriter ka na mami-meet na hindi mo kapareha ng ways, hindi mo kapareha ng technique. Nagkataon lang medyo pareho kaming dalawa that’s why ang bilis namin nakuha yung writing ng isa’t isa. Before kasi nag-meet kami through that and then nung nagkaintindihan na, that’s when the music happened,&quot; she added.
