In his latest song, of "Dollar," Anyone can lose money, but love is the only thing that you can never put a price tag.
"
Dollar" reinforces that meaning of giving back to those who are less fortunate, and love buys more happiness.

"Just to enjoy it, it's a real upbeat song, to just really catch a vibe you know. It's definitely old school R&B," said Gio about his latest song. "It has stood the test of time, it had a way it could tell a story, a story you could either relate to or was experiencing in your life."
"I want my listeners to hear Dollar and really just catch a vibe from it."
