Lyrics
"Jeepney Love Story" is a mid-tempo, pop rock song. The story of the song is about a handsome man who caught the attention of Constantino, who embarked in the same jeep alongside her which she considered as love at first sight.
Music video
The music video for the song was released on September 9, 2010. The concept of the video was an inspired animated one, in which the video shows Ivan Dorschner of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010 as the guy in which the song is referring to. By the end of the video, Dorschner eventually disembarks the jeepney, and an unexpected cameo role by Filipino actor Piolo Pascual appears as a passenger, replacing the seat of Dorschner. It was directed by Avid Liongoren.

In December 2011, Constantino performed at DWTM Magic 89.9 in celebration of their 25th anniversary. She performed the song together with her bandmates, Morning Glory on Music Uplate Live.
