About this Song
Rock and roll’s longstanding presence in the Philippine music ecosystem has created a space for creators to twist the genre’s core tenets to speak to a wide range of thematic and structural preoccupations, a lineage that the sound How to Make a Love Song extends as part of this ongoing, evolving tradition. Rock and roll first took root in the Philippines as audiences and creators alike embraced the global spread of the form, adapting its foundational structure to fit within the country’s rich tapestry of creative expression, turning the genre into a staple of the local creative landscape that has persisted for generations. As a work rooted in that same national creative tradition, How to Make a Love Song exists as part of a community of creators who have continued to engage with rock and roll as a flexible, ever-shifting form that can hold a wide array of creative intentions, rather than a static set of rules that creators must adhere to in order to work within the genre.
