“’Patawad, Paalam’ is the first track and it talks about the dissent. Usually kapag nag-e-end ang relationship, mahal pa rin naman nila 'yung isa’t isa. They both want to fight for each other but the other person’s way is to let go and grow on his own, grow with God, and the other one wants to stay and fight for what they have. Both are valid pero hindi naman pwedeng dalawa 'yung way mo,” she said.

“With ‘Paalam,’ it’s about kahit may reason ka, kahit alam mo 'yung reason kung bakit you had to separate ways, even if you know that that’s for your best, masakit pa rin. Dito nilalabas niya lahat ng galit niya,” she added.

“Mahirap man magpaalam, mas mahirap magpatawad. Mahirap magpatawad ng mga mahal mo, mahirap magpatawad ng sarili. There are times I wake up replaying everything I did wrong. It was really one of my notes to self, that I have to forgive myself. I have to forgive my past. A lot of people don’t give people chances. But everyone changes,” she said.
