Background and composition
editAfter his one-project deal[2] with Star Records, Gloc-9 returned to the Universal Records Philippines label. On this return, also in celebration of his twentieth year in the Philippine music industry,[3] Gloc-9 recorded an EP entitled Rotonda, from which the song "Ice Tubig" would be his first single. The song is about a girl whose love for his partner has gone cold as ice tubig.[4] "Ice Tubig" is a light dance track, which Gloc-9 admitted he had not done in a long time.[5]
