In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Gloc-9 admitted that he dedicated the song to his son, who is part of the LGBT community.
According to him, he had already noticed his son’s identity.
“My son is gay. Nu’ng sinulat ko ‘yun, hindi niya pa sinasabi sa amin. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa anak ko na, kung gaano ko siya kamahal,” he stated.
“Hindi naman ako ma-showbiz and I think para sabihin ko ito now, ako ay proud na proud sa anak ko. Ako ay excited sa kung ano man ang kaya niyang ma-achieve sa buhay niya.
“Minsan iniisip ko how life gives you hints of magic here and there. Nu’ng natapos ko ‘yung ‘Sirena’, hindi ko naman alam. And I don’t mind. Anak ko ‘yun,”
