The program is named after the dance craze song with the same title, performed by Joyce Abestano, which serves as the morning show's theme song. Female sportscaster, TV host and PBA courtside reporter Mara Aquino leads the show as a morning girl, with Vincent Santos as the news anchor and sportscaster Hajji Kaamiño as the only male traffic reporter and sports news anchor, along with Harry Bayona as the weather forecaster and segment hosts and features that includes Bryan Castillo, Kevin Lapeña, Fred Lo, Alonzo Muhlach, Alwyn Uytingco, Fabio Ide and Justin Quirino, topped with guest performances from Kaibigan stars.
