But what inspired Darren about the song “Bibitaw Na”?

“This is an anthem for those who have healed from past relationships with a toxic environment. It’s about moving forward and having the sense of release from all the negativity they endured in the past,” he said.

Darren said that the upbeat track was written and produced by ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo.

He also said that the song caters to the different breakup stories from his close friends.

“I personally don’t relate to the song, but I wrote it for those who have found them in the same light. It started out as a joke for my friends who recently came from breakups, ewan ko kung anong meron sa mundo no’ng mga panahon na ‘yon kasi halos sabay-sabay sila, but I continued writing it and this is the outcome,” he said.
