'I think just the thought that the song is speaking about true love <i>bihira na lang din ‘yung mga kantang ganon eh, iba-iba na ‘yung mga sinusulat ngayon so sana ‘yun din ‘yun ma i-deliver ng maayos. Don mo makukuha ang </i>audience.'</div><div><br/></div><div>After her stint in <i>Himig Handog, </i>Morissette relayed that she will be working on the release of her new music video for her second single.

I truly respect her for that because it takes so much guts and energy to be a coach and I know it was not easy for her <i>pero grabe like ako bilang galing </i>from her team she did a great job and to be resting <i>muna</i> from that I would really <i>undersdtand kasi grabe din talaga ‘yung</i> pressure<i> hindi lang sa </i>contestants<i>, pati na rin po sa mga</i> judges,” she said.</div>
