The Juans, a pop-rock band, recently released their latest single “Back Home,” which touches on a different kind of heartbreak that stems from childhood and broken homes. Lead vocalist Carl Guevarra shared in a live performance that for some, their first heartbreak isn’t romantic, but rather the result of growing up in a broken family or experiencing abandonment. Despite the pain, the feeling of longing never truly dissipates, and the band wanted to capture that sentiment in their gospel-tinged, piano-driven ballad. The song expresses both sadness and love, conveying that no matter how painful, their love for someone is greater than the hurt they’ve caused. “Back Home” will be part of The Juans’ upcoming all-English EP.
Looking back at his childhood, Carl admits that he wasn’t particularly close to his two elder brothers, but the experience made him “tougher” and more determined to fight for what he wants in life. The song is not only about abandonment and yearning but also a call to return to one’s roots. Since their debut in 2015, The Juans have achieved numerous hits, including “Hindi Tayo Pwede,” “Hatid,” “Lumalapit,” and “Itutulog Na Lang.” They now have over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a significant milestone that reminds them of their humble beginnings and how far they’ve come in the local music scene.
Carl knew from a young age that he wanted to become an artist, but the lack of financial means for workshops led him to try out for talent searches held at nearby malls. He studied music production in college and eventually joined The Juans, fulfilling his dream of being a part of a band. As much as he loves serving the audience in the Philippines, he has also longed to expand his reach and go international. The band’s journey continues, and they’ll continue to pursue their dreams of making it big.
