Jace Roque, a P-pop soloist, has released a new single titled “Trust.”

The song was made available on all digital streaming platforms over the weekend. Its official audio video was also uploaded to Roque’s official YouTube page.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Roque revealed that “Trust” is one of the tracks on his mini-album “Inferno,” which he wrote after discovering he was being cheated on.

“Ito talaga ‘yung so far ang pinaka-personal song ko ’cause this is based on past experience about cheating na nagkaroon po ng third party ‘yung relationship. First time ko na experience ‘yung third party ‘yung cheating and hindi ko alam kung paano ako magko-cope. Natulog ako umiiyak, gumising ako umiiyak pa rin ako. ‘Yun ang naging coping mechanism ko, that I was able to write this,” Roque stated.

Roque claimed it took him less than an hour to write the song, but the entire recording process took him two years.

“Kasi hindi ko siya kayang hawakan for that long. During the recording stop and go ako because nagbi-breakdown ako while singing. So it took me two years kasi alam ko kapag na release ko siya kailangang pag-usapan. At least nandito na ako sa point ng buhay ko na hindi na ako affected,” he stated.

Despite the painful story behind the song, Roque said he purposefully made the new single danceable in order to lift listeners’ spirits.

“With me, with tackling my emotions lagi siyang may duality na mabigat ang lyrics pero offbeat and danceable ‘yung production,”

“Aside from my signature sound which is pop-EDM, nag-inject ako ng ’80s synth, which is isa sa influences ko… ‘Yun ang feeling ko na sakto for my lyrics, kasi parang naging natural na lang ‘yung pag-inject nung sound sa music ko,” he stated.
