From the onset, the band went on to write and perform their original material. By March 2000, the single entitled MATA (written and sung by Mike Elgar) was aired over Manila's rock radio stations. Soon after, MAHIWAGANG OO (written and sung by Macky Macaventa) was also released as a follow-up.
By June 2001, Mike was invited to join Rivermaya, so the band moved on with Leo Amistoso to take on the vocal duty and front the band. By December 2002, the band finally released their independently produced debut album entitled PRICK ME!
The first single off the album was DAISY (written by Allan Elgar).
The album was received well and was recognized at the 2003 NU 107 Rock Awards wherein the band was nominated in 3 categories: Best New Artist; Rock Video of the Year, and Album of the Year. 7FOOT JR. eventually took home the 2003 ROCK VIDEO OF THE YEAR for their video DAISY.
Next single released was KUWENTO (written by Allan Elgar) and again was supported by a music video which was later nominated Most Stylish Video Award in the MTV Style Awards of 2004.
The last single off the album was DRIVE INN (written by Macky Macaventa). This was a favorite in gigs because of its punk-inspired riffs and interesting lyrics.

Daisy
7 Foot Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kailangan ko nang aminin Sa sarili na ikaw ay mahal ko
The above lyrics are in Tagalog and are from the song "Daisy" by 7 Foot Jr. The opening lines roughly translate to "My fingers are worn out from dialing your number too often. The line is busy, who are you talking to? Why am I feeling jealous?" These lines convey a sense of desperation and longing for the person on the other end of the line. Despite constant attempts to reach this person, they are unable to connect and the unknown person on the other end triggers feelings of jealousy.
The following line "Kailangan ko nang aminin, sa sarili na ikaw ay mahal ko" can be translated to "I need to admit to myself that I love you." This line may suggest that the person singing has been struggling with their feelings for the person they are trying to connect with. They may have been in denial about their true feelings until this moment of desperation forced them to confront them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Daisy" express the intense desire for connection and love, as well as the emotional turmoil that comes with unrequited or uncertain love. The imagery of worn-out fingers and a busy line communicate the frustration and desperation of not being able to reach the person they love while the admission of love suggests a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their feelings.
