Leanne and Naara shared their experience covering "Alapaap" in an interview with Bandwagon Asia. "One of the really exciting things that we got to do for this track was the vocals," they said. "We just went crazy with it. It helped us get into this carefree mindset that is the very essence of this song." [1]

According to Lola Amour bassist Raymond King, his band's cover of "Shake Yer Head" was inspired by the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" by Stevie Wonder. [3]

For her cover of "Huwag Kang Matakot", Reese Lansangan interpreted the song's lyrics as being from a mother's perspective to her child as “giving comfort and courage”. [2]
