"The fact na it is as big as it is now na wala pa siyang 1 month old is mind blowing, and noong nakita ko sa charts na parang biglang nag-shoot up yung ranking ko somewhere – parang most streamed — 'paano? Paano raw?' Parang di pa rin siya masyadong nag si-sink in sa akin and hindi ko rin siya masyado pang iniisip kasi baka ma-pressure lang ako," the singer said in an interview.

"Noong sinabi sa akin ni TJ yung idea na mag record kami ng duet, I was actually very hesitant. Kasi nga 'di ba for a song that is so well-loved at maglalabas ka pa ng panibagong version, parang it has to be at the same level or angatan pa ng kahit konti or dapat may ma-offer kang something new 'di ba?” the singer said.

According to the singer, doing the duet version is a "challenge" because she believes that she and her husband have different styles in terms of musicality.

"Si TJ lang din ang nagsabi sa akin na parang 'if I were to release a duet version of this song, ikaw lang din ang pwedeng maka-duet ko kasi ikaw si 'palagi,' sabi niyang ganon. Syempre marupok tayo, oh napilit tayo, ni-record natin," she said.

"So, I took out the challenge, I sat down, talagang hinimay ko sa kanya yung mga naiisip kong gawin para don sa song and then pina-check ko talaga sa kanya," she explained.

"Kahit na kinakabahan ako na baka hindi ma-appreciate ng mga tao 'yung version na sinamahan ko, nandon na rin ako sa kung masaya si TJ sa version, masaya na ako. It doesn’t matter to me kung ano pa yung sasabihin ng ibang tao. Kung masaya siya, masaya na ako," the singer said.
