Mendira.net artists recently released their company’s jingle “Kaya Mo Yan” featuring Tiports, Valkyrie Cabalo, and Rexxx on all music-streaming platforms with a goal of inspiring artists. In November 2020, Tatay Paul (Paul Valle Ragus), the founder of Mendira, requested a song for Mendira Media, but public performances were outlawed because the pandemic was still at its height. “I wanted a relatable song. I wanted a song for Mendira. I had many talented Mendirafam artists in mind but  we’re shortlisted. Carl Miranda for his hugot-type of songs, Antoniii for his unique style, and then came the Singaporean song I heard of Tiports on YouTube. That sealed the deal. Ang ganda kasi… nakaka LSS,” Tatay Paul said in a statement. Negotiations with Tiports to write and perform the song for Mendira were made by December 2020. Idiyanale then gave it to Tatay Paul in February 2021. “Lagyan ng rap element! Marami magagaling na rap artists na Mendirafam. Just so happen that Rex Aglinao posted a vide

She was inspired from her co-local artists ALYSSA’s ‘Lahat’ and Johnoy Danao’s ‘Ikaw at Ako’ which are both known great OPM love songs nowadays. When asked about the writing process Joan shared it took her eight to nine months to finish the song along with the help of her co-artist Ian Quiruz.    “Kung irerelease ko ‘yong lahat-lahat ng sinulat ko, siguro the song would run for 8 minutes. Ganoon siya kahaba. I am a sweet, clingy person so I guess dito ko nasabi yung mga bagay na gusto kong sabihin sa inner child ko, sa kuya ko, sa mga kaibigan ko, and
