So it’s kind of like a coming of age song for me is how it felt eventhough I’m in my 30s, but it was really like  my version of my coming of age,&quot; Archuleta told ABS-CBN News. </p><p>&quot;Being flirty being a little more sexy being a little more naughty and the are innuendos in the song. But it’s still chill. It’s still laid-back. The point was not to be in your face so much. It’s like a chill way of vibin&#x27; and having fun and dancing like in the video,&quot; he added.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743659192514David.jpg" style="width:750px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>According to Archuleta “Crème Brulée” was the first &quot;playful and sexy&quot; song he composed. It&#x27;s a track that show&#x27;s Archuleta in his real element.  Archuleta composed the song with Robyn Dell’Unto, Ryan Nealon and produced by Michael Blum.</p><p>Aside from the words he would use, the singer said that doing it in Spanish and English or Spanglish is one of the challenges in composing the track.</p><p>&quot;The hardest thing about the track? I think it was the first time that I ever wrote something that was a little naughtier and a little more playful and sexy. That was I think that was maybe the biggest challenge of it being like &#x27;can I really say this?&#x27; and then be like &#x27;oh yeah, I can.&#x27; So it wasn’t too hard. It really was, it felt like an effortless song and I’m always glad when those songs come in it’s just kind of magical,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;And it was so fun adding the Spanish maybe like also trying to make sure that I was saying the Spanish the way that I wanted it to sound. I speak in Spanglish just like the song is Spanglish so my Spanish isn’t always perfect, but I had my mom check it. &#x27;Mom, how does this sound? Does this sound OK?&#x27; and she’s like &#x27;yeah that sounds good.&#x27; I’m OK. She’s like &#x27;let me ask my dad to make sure&#x27; &#x27;cause he’s like he speaks very proper Spanish and he only speaks Spanish and she be like &#x27;yeah I’d all sounds good.&#x27; And yeah, that was the biggest challenge but really was luckily pretty,&quot;  Archuleta added.</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0U8cNV2IjXQ?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><p>Archuleta who had so much fan creating his newest song and its music video, said that he just want his fans and listeners to enjoy “Crème Brulée.” </p><p>Archuleta, “American Idol&quot; Season 7 runner-up, first held a concert in the Philippines back in 2009 along with “American Idol&quot; winner David Cook.</p><p>Just last year, Archuleta  returned to Manila and held a concert  for his Filipino fans. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/13/21/david-archuleta-american-idol-comes-out-lgbt">&#x27;American Idol&#x27; star David Archuleta comes out as member of LGBTQIA+</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/12/22/david-archuleta-celebrates-1st-year-since-coming-out">David Archuleta marks first year since coming out, relates with those still struggling</a></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9fRpdJsQo2k?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
