The dreamy track, clad with the group’s infectious brand of synth pop and striking ballad, rattles us immediately with its opening line: “Ikaw ang kahulugan ng pag-ibig.” It sings about a paradise of luck, certainty, security, and all those too good to be true makings of the world—which are admittedly hard to find these days. It doesn’t take you to a lot of twists and turns, but the whole package of the track is meant to make you spin around—slowly but surely, with its gentle but echoing progression taking you to a new journey.

Just recently, One Click Straight performed at Music Matters Live in Singapore. With everything that’s going on, we’re left with a bigger craving for more OCS records soon. Or maybe a music video for “Paraiso?” Or even a collaborative track with IV of Spades and St. Wolf, if we’re lucky enough (besides, OCS already called for it in 2017.)
