Juan Karlos opened up about the process of creating his new album Sad Songs and Bullsh*t Part 1.

In an interview with CNN Philippines, the singer shared that he came up with the songs for the album as he went through a breakup.

"I've gone through [it], everybody goes through it and parang for me it so happened na I write music and it became parang word vomiting, putting melodies in all these emotions that I had at that time," he said.

The singer continued: "That's why it's called Sad Songs and the b word because the sad songs came after the breakup but then like I had so many love songs I wrote after our relationship ended. It really didn't make sense."

It can be recalled that in June 2022, Juan Karlos and Maureen Wrobletwitz announced their separation.

When asked how he feels that his single "Ere" off the album has become an instant hit and has gone viral on social media, the singer replied, "Honestly, I don't know. Actually I'm surprised that it's doing well because when I write stuff like that, I don't have any expectation."

Juan Karlos chose to collaborate with fellow artists Paolo Benjamin and Zild for his new album. "Ako kasi when I like to collaborate with other artists, I actually like to have them also write something and have a part that they made for me. For me, that's what a collaboration means," he said.

On why he decided to put out the part one of Sad Songs and Bullsh*t first, Juan Karlos shared that he made the decision because there were 18 songs that he was able to write for the album.

"Because 18 songs are way too many songs to put in one album, that's why we kinda decided that we release the first half now and then 'cause at the same time my schedule is kinda crazy. So we also don't have enough time to be able to finally finish the second part," he relayed.
