“Congratulations to Key on your new release. I produced and wrote ‘Eighteen (End Of My World)’ with my bro Jaicko Lawrence and Oluwayomi,” he wrote.
“Swipe to see a picture of Key and I in 2014. [Seven] years later, we were finally able to collaborate.”
As of writing, “Eighteen (End Of My World)” has over 278,000 streams after a week of its release. It is one of the tracks on Key’s mini album “Bad Love,” which was released Sept. 27.
This isn’t the first time August has collaborated with K-Pop artists. In January, he and another Filipino, Vince Nantes, shared that they co-wrote BTS songs “Black Swan” and “On.”
August was born and raised in Canada by Filipino parents. He started his music career in the United States in 2004 and had made songs for Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Chris Brown, among other artists. – Franchesca Viernes/RC, GMA News
