What started as a long-distance idea between LA and Manila turned into a dreamy folk-pop duet, wrapped in Clara’s delicate harmonies and Paolo’s introspective songwriting. Though oceans apart, the pair met virtually to craft a track that feels deeply intimate and emotionally resonant.

'Roses' was born out of personal uncertainty, and this reimagined version captures the kind of vulnerable honesty that feels like a warm hug. For Paolo, it’s the song that got him through—and now, with Clara’s touch, it’s a moment made to be shared.
