 History “Growing Up” was the main theme song of the movie which was heard in its opening and closing credits. This was always a promotional song during the rounds on the programs of the various television stations. “So It’s You” was its main love theme song particularly when the scenes about the celebration of Valentine’s Day was shown.

There was an MTV like scene which featured Raymond Lauchengco serenading Eula Valdez with this song. The two wore formal clothes and the location was the Ugarte Football Field in Makati with matching fireworks. “Baby I Lied” and “You and I” served as other love theme songs to the back stories of the characters played by Aga Muhlach and J.C. Bonnin, respectively. “Farewell” was the background song when the main characters encountered their separate heart aches and sadness because of the death of a lady love, a person he loves left for abroad for marriage and his love prospect can not return his affection because she is already married.

However, in the hearts and in the minds of the high school seniors graduating that year, this song was their graduation song. “Why Don’t You Care” was the musical score in the scene where Herbert Bautista, riding a bicycle, saw his romantic prospect played by Jobelle Salvador who was a passenger of a tricycle. This was a hilarious scene where even if the young lad learned where she lives, he found out that her father is a military man who he saw cleaning the latter’s M-16 rifle which was issued to him for official use.

The lyrics of “High School High” was about the various challenges a high school student experienced: difficult subjects to learn and to study and the several examinations to be taken to pass these subjects. This was the score when the main characters arrived at their new school during the first day of classes as high school seniors and exploring its surroundings and its people. “Telephone”, “Why Me?” and “Jump (For My Love)” were used as the background music in the Junior-Senior Prom scenes. “Just Got Lucky” was used when the main characters had their summer outing and towards the end of the movie when Bautista’s character told his love for Salvador’s character after a few funny distractions.

The young lady accepted his proposal to be his sweetheart which surprised the young man. “Rock It” was for the scene where the character of William Martinez accepted the challenge of a classmate for a drag racing without thinking of the consequence which he regretted later.

His sweetheart played by Yayo Aguila died in the car crash while he survived. “This Is A House” and “Self-Respect” were used in the other scenes where the characters were engaged in the different activities as teenagers. For the graduating high school seniors of the year 1984, the movie and the soundtrack served as souvenirs of their high school lives.
