Career

Initially working as personal assistants for Andrew E., the group's name originated from when Andrew E. asked the members to come up with a name. Charlie Mak, who is of Bicolano descent, explained in an interview that the term "salbakuta" is Bicolano for "naughty" or "mischievous".[2]

The group rose to prominence in 2002 with their single "S2pid Luv", which Andrew E. penned as they were looking for a radio-friendly single for their debut album Ayoko ng Ganitong Life ("I Hate This Kind of Life").[3] Despite some controversy over the group's use of explicit lyrics (the album cover already bearing a parental disclaimer similar to the Parental Advisory label used on Western albums) and the Barbra Streisand-derived hook,[4] "S2pid Luv" proved to be a breakthrough single for the group,[5] also spawning a feature-length romantic comedy film adaptation starring Andrew E. and Blakdyak.[6] An alternate version of "S2pid Luv" with an original hook in Tagalog instead of the "Evergreen" sample was later released.
