Kiss N’ Tell has officially released their latest single, Topak, and is now available for streaming on all digital platforms.
The song, written and performed by Himig Handog 2020 finalists Josh and Jeh, explores the complexities of relationships, focusing on moments of sudden emotional outbursts often experienced in romantic partnerships.
Opening with the lines, "Tinotopak na ang girlfriend mong napakaganda / gustong libangan ang awayin ka / kahit wala namang dahilan, maisipan lang oh," Topak captures the relatable chaos and emotional unpredictability that sometimes define love.
The track was crafted from the perspective of a strong-willed female character. According to Kiss N’ Tell, they initially attempted to fully understand the mindset behind such emotional moments but eventually embraced the idea that some experiences are beyond full explanation—an insight that shaped the song's essence.
Musically, Topak departs from typical pop ballads by incorporating a jazzy sound blended with dark, haunting elements and sharp riffs, highlighting the unpredictable and powerful nature of the song’s subject.
Kiss N’ Tell describes Topak not as a portrayal of toxicity, but as a reflection of authenticity in relationships, emphasizing that love is not always calm and that emotional storms can be part of the experience.
