Background
editAfter nearly two years since the release of his last album Just a Love Song... Live! in 2006, Christian Bautista started working on a new album, Captured. In a press release by Warner Music Philippines, Bautista explained:
I want these songs to capture your [fans] attention—your ears, your hearts, your minds, and your souls. I hope you listen to the lyrics and the melodies and try to read in between the lines. May these songs capture you as you've never been before.[2][5]
For the first time since his debut in the Philippine music industry, he collaborated with other legendary male Filipino artists such as Martin Nievera and Ogie Alcasid, who wrote songs for the album. His brother, Joshua, also wrote a song, "Hope", for the album.
