Hindi lamang dahil maganda ang pagkakagawa ng TVC na ito ng Tanduay Rhum Rockfest kundi maganda ang hatid na mensahe ng kantang nakapaloob dito.

Isang Tinig ang titulo ng kantang ito, ang official 2012 Rhum Rockfest jingle. Kapansin-pansin ang letra nito na nagsasabing..

“Nandito na ang panahon
Gisingin na ang damdamin na natutulog
Magbuklod-buklod sa iisang mithiin
Isang layunin

Isang tinig, isang lahi, isang awitin
Itaas ang lakas ng bandala ng pusong Pilipino
Oooooh”
