The Pop recording "Darling, Darling" from the Philippines presents a sound that has been described as soft rock, drawing inspiration from classic Manila Sound. This track follows earlier works like the indie-pop flavored "Gabi" and the retro-pop track "Sinta," which marked a period of growth for the artist. The artist, known for a romantic sensibility in their musicality, has previously released charting songs such as "Miss Miss," "Arrowmance," and "Puso," a slow-burn anthem. The artist's earlier work also includes "Ulap," which was written, arranged, and produced alone in a bedroom.
