My last one was yung single ko from Cornerstone, &#x27;Pretty Mama.&#x27; But other than that, we’ll see. If the opportunity comes and if I’m able to work with the right producers para sa type of genre that I like. Kasi I’m very picky na when it comes to music talaga. I don’t want to be controlled anymore like that. I want to be able to have my own control sa type of music I want to do, the lyrics that I want to write about, and just all about myself. So yun. I’m just waiting for the right producers lang,” he said. </p>
