"For over a year and a half, I’ve worked l hard to produce an album that I believed authentically represented who I am as an artist, a producer and a musician. It hasn’t been an easy journey to get to this point, but I am proud that I am able to shine light on both the good and bad moments of my journey. The result is a body of work that literally turned lemons into sweet, delicious lemonade with a hint of ube on top, darling!" Laureta wrote on Instagram.

"I pray that this album brings inspiration, representation and pride to the OPM scene and to the Filipino people. I pray it becomes a beacon of hope for any Filipino creative that believes their voice matters… because it does. And it took a while for me realize and embody that. We matter. I am and forever will be a proud, GAY, BROWN, full-figured, Filipino-American, who only wanted to just be seen and heard in such a crazy industry," he continued.

"My heart and soul goes to all the beautiful artists, creatives, musicians media outlets, my beautiful fans and everything in between that played a part in making these album come true and a success. With these 3 albums, WE have profoundly made our mark on not just Filipino music but music as a whole. From the comfort of my pandemic apartment in 2020, armed with farfetched dreams, a microphone and a piano, we managed to bring Filipino music to the entire world.
