"Ice Tubig" is a single by Filipino rapper and songwriter Gloc-9 featuring Mike Luis. The song's release by Universal Records Philippines was set for July 2017,[1] but was eventually moved a month later. The single is from Gloc-9's five-track EP entitled Rotonda, released months after. In the Philippines, the term ice tubig or ice water refers to cold water in a plastic bag intended to be made into ice and sold as such but is bought before the water freezes so that the customer can drink it immediately.

Background and composition

[edit]

After 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]
