The lead single (“Haplos”) was the first song performed by Jerwin. When the first demo was heard by the management, they were impressed by the outcome. Their common feedback was that Jerwin really had good musical skills. Though Jerwin experienced some difficulty in recording sessions with regard to his busy schedule, he still found enjoyment in every single moment of it.In his exclusive interview in the music magazine Pinoy (April \u2013 May issue), he confirmed that he recorded five remakes and one original composition by Vince Rod Katindoy, member and composer of Shamrock. The final track listing consisted of seven tracks including his covers of “Naaalala Ka” by Rey Valera, “Di Na Mababawi” by Spongecola and Itchyworms’ “Akin Ka Na Lang” and his carrier single, Shamrock’s “Haplos”. He expressed that the album doesn’t include “belting songs,” but consists of ballads that are cool and relaxing to hear, and that he hopes for his album to reach gold status and not have any negative feedback.In October 2015, Universal Records released a special edition of the album which includes AlDub theme song “God Gave Me You” by Bryan White.[6] The song was frequently dubbed by Alden Richards in Eat Bulaga!’s Kalyeserye. Richards’ version of the song is included in his 2015 album Wish I May.[7]Critical reception[edit]The self-titled album was launched on May 26, 2013 at the Trinoma Activity Center and Alden was overwhelmed by the reception of his fans. “Hindi ko po inexpect na ganoon yung magiging reception kasi hindi ko po ineexpect na matatanggap ako ng tao as a singer,” (I don’t expect that kind of reception because I don’t expect that people would accept me as a singer,) he added in a press conference held on June 11.[8]In 2015, Richards gained so much popularity courtesy of ALDUB love team played in Eat Bulagas’s segment, Juan For All, All For Juan. In line with this, the album eventually topped the charts of iTunes Philippines, and among largest retailers in the country such as Astroplus, and Odyssey. It also landed on Billboard World Albums Chart at number 10 for the week of October 17, 2015.[9][10]Re-package[edit]The album was re-release after two years since its debut in market in 2013, on November 28, 2015. It features Bryan Whites’s hit, God Gave Me You, and with additional instrumentals for each tracks from the album.[11][12]Singles[edit]“Haplos”, written and originally performed by Shamrock, was released as the lead single from the album on April 5, 2013 and became available on the April 9 in digital format.[13] It was launched at the noontime musical variety show, Party Pilipinas by Richards himself performing on April 14.[14] Further, the song topped all digital singles chart including My Music Store Philippines and the Philippines franchise of iTunes on April 19.[15][16][non-primary source needed][17] Extending that the single itself was used as one of the official sound track for GMA’s 2013 primetime series, Mundo Mo’y Akin, where he played the character role of Jerome. Its music video was directed and edited by J. Pacena II and first premiered in Myx Philippines, on May 23.[8]Track listing[edit]TitleWriter(s)Producer(s)1.“Haplos”Vince Rod KatindoyIto Rapadas03:342.“Naaalala Ka”Rey ValeraRapadas03:493.“Can’t Find No Reason”Dodjie SimonRapadas02:564.“\u2018Di Na Mababawi”Rey DilayRapadas03:155.“Sa Aking Tabi”Vince Rod KatindoyRapadas03:486.“Akin Ka Nalang”Johanne Angelo NicolasRapadas03:057.“Everytime I See You”P.O.
