00:00 It's one of the few songs that gave a new flavor to your new EP, "Reimagined".
00:07 Congratulations, Ying!
00:09 Why did you release these songs again?
00:12 I did this because for the past 17 years,
00:19 I've been taking care of Star Music, especially the songs I wrote.
00:23 But this past year, I've been owning my songs.
00:27 Wow! Congratulations!
00:30 So I created this project to give a new life to the songs I wrote before.
00:36 The songs you loved from me, like "Lapit" earlier.
00:40 So I gave a new arrangement to refresh you.
00:44 To update you, so that the fans and youngsters will listen to it again.
00:48 It's good to listen to and it's very current.
00:51 You don't need to refresh the fans,
00:55 because if you write and sing, they'll listen to it again.
00:59 It's like this, right?
01:01 They're the ones who made it popular.
01:04 Oh, sorry.
01:06 I'm sorry.
01:07 I'm sorry, Ms. Mela.
01:09 You said that the songs are yours.
01:12 So does that mean that even if you write and sing, you don't own the songs?
01:18 Yes, the publishing of the songs.
01:20 Usually, when you sign up with a recording label,
01:22 the publishing is done by Star Music.
01:26 So it's all yours?
01:28 Yes.
01:29 So you have your own publishing?
01:32 I'm handling all my songs personally.
01:35 But the one who negotiates for me is my handler, Ms. Cynthia Roque.
01:39 That's so great!
01:41 You know what's great about that?
01:43 My husband owns his own songs, but he sold the other songs.
01:47 Oh!
01:48 He'll make a new one, sis.
01:50 Don't worry.
01:52 But what can you say to the netizens who are waiting for the 10-minute version of "Jeepney Love Story"?
02:00 Taylor Swift knows this.
02:02 I was pressured.
02:04 In "Jeepney Love Story", the song is so intense that the passengers can't get off.
02:08 Yes.
02:09 They enjoyed it.
02:10 The chorus is, "I don't want to dream, no matter where I go.
02:13 I don't want to dream if you're with me."
02:16 It's not like that anymore.
02:18 And we know Chiria.
02:20 They're going to Mindanao.
02:22 They're going to Mindanao because they really like it.
02:26 But the fans are amazing.
02:28 I was so happy when they found out that I'm handling the catalog.
02:33 They have their personal favorites.
02:35 "Sis, make a new version of this.
02:37 Can I lyricize this song?"
02:39 And that's the good thing about owning your songs.
02:41 Now I can.
02:43 I have songs that I cringe when I listen to.
02:47 Oh my!
02:49 You know, you were so young when you wrote that.
02:51 So you want to update it a little bit.
02:55 Because your point of view is still very childish.
02:57 I have songs that I want to lyricize.
02:59 So that it's appropriate for my age.
03:03 You're like a writer.
03:05 She's like that.
03:07 And you're the vocal producer of this album.
03:11 Yes. But in this album, I was really stretched as a vocalist.
03:17 As a vocalist and as a vocal producer.
03:21 I like it!
03:23 I know.
03:25 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:27 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:29 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:31 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:33 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:35 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:37 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:39 I'm not sure if I can do it.
03:41 I'm not sure if I can do it.
