Aljon Mendoza launches debut single ‘Panghabang-Baby’

Aljon Mendoza makes his debut as a recording artist with the single “Panghabang-Baby,” which will be released under StarPop today. He performed the song live at the StarPop Campus Tour in Northern Iloilo State University last Sept. 18.

“I just feel so happy. I’m excited because I got to experience recording and performing songs for people, especially to the people who support me. ‘Pag campus tour, nae-enjoy ko siyang gawin because this brings joy to people,” he shared.

The romantic pop track, originally performed by Vance Larena, is about a guy confessing his feelings to his loved one. It was composed by Nino Carlo J. Reyes and Philip Thomas Vinoya and was produced by StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos.

Pure intention

Aljon described his first single as truly LSS-inducing.

“I immediately fell in love with the song because of its simplicity … at napaka-pure ng intention ng lyrics. And the beat, nakaka-LSS siya for me.”

From being one of the prominent housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother: Otso,” Aljon went on to appear in different series such as “Hoy Love You,” “The Viral Scandal,” “The Four Bad Boys and Me” and “Teen Clash.” Recently, he appeared in the blockbuster film “Un/Happy for You” with Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto.
