Aside from the bouncy "Do Re Mi", "GadonRè-v", is one of the album's few upbeat tracks. While its beat may be celebratory in tone, the storyline it tells isn't. A high school student, a year shy of graduating from secondary school has to drink, or more accurately put, gulp the cup before him: his girl is pregnant. Unemployed and not yet ready for impending fatherhood, he faces his situation with grim pleasure. His friends rejoice over his current lot in life; with him out of the way, he's one less competitor they'll have to face when they place their candidacy for the presidency. Perhaps wanting to just give teen listeners a glimpse of what life could be, Wanito changes direction and reveals in bridge that all was but a dream, a teenage nightmare.

With his gift for crafting metaphor-rich lyrics, and composing original music, Wanito will surely go far and wide with his talent.
