Background

Chan was in his twenty-second year as a recording artist when Universal released Constant Change. He described the history of the title track's composition in the following statement:

“I wrote "Constant Change" while making the transition from living in New York back to Manila. I was on a plane looking at the clouds pass swiftly by, changing form faster than the wink of an eye. The song reflects the ‘frightening pace at which we live our days’ — you know, constantly changing ‘like clouds that move across the skies,’ reminding us to maintain our sense of childlike wonder and simplicity before we ‘grow too old for tales of knights’ and ‘losing our Peter Pan and wings.’ Throughout the ‘90s, many high-school classes adopted "Constant Change" as graduation theme song.”[1]

Composition

"I Have Fallen in Love (With the Same Woman Three Times) is a poem written by Ninoy Aquino for his wife, President Cory Aquino. Chan incorporated music with the poem to make it a song. According to Chan, "Sing Me Your Song Again, Daddy" is played during wedding receptions as young brides dance with their fathers up to now. "Beautiful Girl" inspired the Seiko movie of the same title, starring Gretchen Barretto. Chan narrated the story behind the song, saying "It’s about a pretty girl I saw from a distance but never got to meet. She was like a fragment of a lovely melody that comes to a songwriter in the dark of night, only to lose it at the break of day".[1]
