<p>Even now, I Belong to The Zoo’s ”Sana“ remains as popular as when it was first released in 2017.</p><p>During Cornerstone Entertainment’s <em>Relapse Night Live</em>, the band’s frontman Argee Guerrero told PUSH ABS-CBN in an exclusive interview how he wrote the song effortlessly.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743945469654I-Belong-to-The-Zoos-Argee-Guerrero-admits-taking-time-to-finish-songs-after-hit-Sana.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>“I wrote that song in less than 10-15 minutes. Dahil nasulat ko siya ng eksatong when that happened. So, hindi ko alam pero maraming artists na ganoon na bigla lang, yun pa yung pinapakinggan ng mga tao, yung mabilisan nilang nagagawa. Siguro, I was just really inspired during that moment. Dahil after ‘Sana’, it takes me a long time to properly finish a song,” Argee revealed.</p><p>The band, with over 1.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, shared a new milestone with their hit song ”Balang Araw”. As of this writing, it has surpassed 100 million streams.</p><p>“I think na check ko siya lampas na ng 100M. And then, I just ended up sharing the story na dapat posted something about it. So, next time, sana meron pang umabot ng 100M, I&#x27;ll properly share it,” Argee mentioned.</p><div><iframe width="1272" height="724" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MWSrOYG87lg" title="I Belong to the Zoo - Balang Araw (Official Music Video)" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The band’s singer-songwriter also shared how he feels when he hears their songs playing in places like restaurants.</p><p>“Kapag nasa labas kami, tapos nakikilala kami ng mga restaurant. They usually play it, or sa mga mall. Sinasabi ko na, huwag na po kasi baka, ano, dumugin tayo. Pero tara, mag-picture tayo or whatever you guys want. Kasi parang yun yung lagi nilang go-to. Thankful ho kami kapag ginagawa yun sa mga lugar na pinuntahan,” he shared.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDlljLdTHPq/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A1556260.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="727" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, Argee also added that their goal is simply for listeners to feel the emotions behind their songs.</p><p>“Para sa akin, whenever people listen to my song, ayoko naman silang palungkutin. Pero parang, I want them to feel that emotion while listening to the songs and then move on from that. Na parang, o sige magpalungkot na tayo with what we&#x27;re listening to. Pero eventually, sana hopeful pa rin siya na okay, move on na tayo next chapter,” he pointed out.</p><p>He went on teasing what fans can expect with their band: “Right now, we&#x27;re just busy writing new material. And hopefully, magkaroon kami ng major concert in the future. Tapos makatugtog kami sa ibang kansa, which I think is in the works.”</p>
