Gonzaga considered that this album contained the theme songs of her love story with her husband. As of August 2018, the album sold 7,000 units and 5,000 were pure sales.

Background

Gonzaga first announced the details of her seventh album through her instragram account in October.[4] In same month, StarMusic Philippines officially announced the release date of the album and single through Instagram.[5]

''It’s time for the ULTIMATE COMEBACK!,'' noted.

Toni was inspired to do the LP after her wedding in June with Director Paul Soriano. She recalls it and the courtship of Soriano years ago. There are seven songs which consist of six revivals and the rearranged and newly mastered version of her 2007 hit, Catch Me, I’m Falling.

In addition, she believes that the set of songs were perfectly suits the story of love that she does with her husband. The entire album is like a short story of their shared love to each other which transpired and themed through music.

“Music moves you in different ways. And when you’re in love, it echoes the emotional chord of your heart,” Gonzaga said.

Prior to its release, she simultaneously performed each song on ASAP.

Production

The music and arrangement was done by herself and long-time professional partner, Jonathan Manalo. The selection of songs was chosen by Gonzaga herself. She also decided to do Interlude for each song which she talks about the details of courtship of Soriano. The last track is Catch Me, I’m Falling. It is sung and recorded dramatically compared to the 2007 version, with complete accompaniment of strings and piano.[6]
