During our MYXclusive interview, vocalist and songwriter Zel Bautista explained how he wrote the song back in January after their first major concert at Teatrino.
“Actually based s’ya sa mga songs nasulat na songs before like nung ‘Dahan’ na about moving on. Pero at the end of the day, parang ‘pag ikaw gustong mag move-on parang ayaw mo pa rin, e.”, he said.
The band is also currently recording new songs and is planning to release an all-Filipino record soon and of course, “Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig” is expected to be part of it. In fact, they played two unreleased songs from the launch called “Kahit Di Mo Alam” and “Bulong” for all of their fans.
“Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig” made it to various music streaming platforms’ top playlists days after its release.
The music video of “Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig” stars Bobby Padilla of Hilera, Carissa Ramos of Mr. Bones & the Boneyard Circus, and actress Rich Asuncion. When asked about the music video concept and all of the creative aspects in making it, December Avenue said that all they relied to the hardworking people behind it such as their manager Koi Busalla, and director Alvin Chan.
“Tungkol s’ya sa fantasy, actually. Yung focus ng video is about yung girl, nagkagusto s’ya sa lalaki then nagkaroon s’ya ng fantasy.”, Zel further said.

Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-ibig lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na para bang wala ng papalit sayo?
Nasa’n ka man
Sigaw ng puso ko’y ikaw hanggang ngayon
[Pre-Chorus]
Kung sana lamang ay nakita mo ang lungkot sa’yong ngiti
Isang umagang ‘di ka nagbalik
Gumising ka at ng makita mo
Ang tamis ng sandali ng kahapong ‘di magbabalik
[Verse 2]
Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na para bang walang iba sa piling mo?
Nasa’n ka man
Sigaw ng puso ko ay ang pangalan mo
[Bridge]
Hanggang kailan pa ba magtitiis?
Nalunod na sa kaiisip
Huling kapiling ka’y sa aking panaginip
Ikaw mula noon
Ikaw hanggang ngayon
Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan
Hanggang ang puso’y wala ng maramdaman
