<p>In a recent interview, the OPM artist shared that &lsquo;Aurora&rsquo; was inspired by a meaningful experience with his wife, KZ Tandingan. The couple once traveled to see the Aurora Borealis, and that moment became the starting point of the song. Although there is no official release date yet, TJ assured fans that the wait will be worth it.</p>

<p>"Parang alam mo 'yung the magic of songwriting. Habang tumatagal, nag-pro-progress 'yung song, na-realize ko, I was talking about the northern lights but eventually nag-iba 'yung direction ng kanta tapos 'yung lyrics pa rin niya, &ldquo;Aurora I will wait for you. I know I will see you soon as you dance to my tune.&rdquo; Tapos sabi ko, &ldquo;Aurora, let your colors bloom. I will give you my moon.&rdquo; Kasi 'yung Aurora, 'pag mayroon moon, hindi siya nakikita," he shared.</p>
<p>Fans are excited for new music from the Ikaw At Ako hitmaker, and Aurora is expected to highlight his signature storytelling and soothing vocals. TJ also shared that he dreams of being a "girl dad" someday. He and KZ are planning to have a baby within the next two years.</p>
