Story behind the track “Tibok”
The track, released in 2023, comes with an intriguing backstory that Earl shared in detail.
Actually ang funny nga eh kasi nakikita ko siya (‘Tibok’) sa TikTok na parang ine-enjoy siya ng mga tao as a love song — pero sa totoo lang, sinulat ko siya at that time na sobrang heartbroken ako sa crush ko noon. As in dito ko talaga binuhos lahat (ng nararamdaman ko) so I would say na ito yung pinaka-honest na song na naisulat ko, na wala akong iniisip na magugustuhan ba siya ng mga tao. Dito ko talaga nabuhos yung genuine na nararamdaman ko at that time.
He found it fascinating that the song had taken on a new meaning for others, which he appreciated.

Sobrang surreal ng feeling kasi araw-araw ko inaabangan yung mga songs ko eversince nung nakapasok ako sa Top 200 Artists, nag-wonder lang ako everyday na ano kayang pwedeng mangyari? Kaya ngayon, sobrang saya and sobrang thankful ako — lalo na sa mga taong naniwala at sumoporta sa akin since day one.
