00:00When you were recording that song, did you know that it was going to be a hit?

00:09Oh, no. But I really loved that song when it was presented to me by Aaron Paul.

00:15Who was a hit maker?

00:17Yeah.

00:18Okay.

00:19But the problem was, when I was looking for a song for my album, when he presented it to me, he said,

00:25there's a problem with it because someone already got it.

00:29I asked him, why did you give it to me?

00:31He said, it's only 50% of what I paid for it.

00:33Hahaha!

00:37I didn't want to use it.

00:41So I gave it to him.

00:43He said, if you want it, just take it.

00:46To cut the long story short, I talked to the person who was going to use it.

00:52Every time I see him, I tell him that his song is really good.

00:56One time, he came up to me in the dressing room and said,

00:58Richard, do you really want Paminsan Minsan?

01:01I said, yes.

01:02We're not going to use it because it doesn't fit our album.

01:04Oh!

01:06It was meant.

01:07Yeah.

01:08How did Paminsan Minsan change your life?

01:11Well, it was my second hit.

01:13It was.

01:14My first hit was Indi Ko Kaya.

01:16So, of course, Paminsan Minsan legitimized my being a hit singer.

01:26This is just a trivia.

01:28There's a saying that it's hard to make a hit.

01:33But it is more difficult to do a second hit.

01:36That's true.

01:37Right?

01:38Follow up.

01:39Follow up is very difficult.

01:41Let's go to your hit, Rani.

01:43What's the story of Why Can't…

01:45You know, Tito Boy, I don't really talk about the story of this song.

01:48But for you, I'll tell you the story.

01:50Really?

01:51So, I was madly in love with this young girl.

01:54It went on for a while only to find out that we're related.

02:00So, it's not possible.

02:02You know, we come from a very conservative old family.

02:06And like Romeo and Juliet, we were really separated.

02:11So, the real version of Why Can't It Be was actually fast.

02:15It was like a pop rock.

02:18Wow!

02:19Because I was trying to be macho and I was trying to hide it.

02:22It's okay.

02:23But when I met Boss Orly Ilacan of OctoArts, he said,

02:27Iho, just make it a piano.

02:30So, I listened to the wisdom of the old man.

02:32And it worked.

02:33It certainly did.

02:34Yeah.

02:40It worked.

02:41Yeah.

03:10Yeah.

04:10You
