Composition
"Magasin" was based on Ely's cousin who dated Shirley Tesoro, a famous bold star who gained popularity for her roles in movies such as "Eye of the Eagle 2: Inside the Enemy" (1989) and "Maricris Sioson Story: Japayuki" (1993). The song's chorus was also inspired by Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing". The song was originally titled as "Tiktik".
