Written by Thyro Alfaro, it was produced by Jumbo "Bojam" de Belen and released under Viva Records.

The song served as the lead single off Geronimo's 2013 platinum album Expressions.

Joseph R. Atilano of Inquirer.net gave a positive review, noting that "Ikot-Ikot" is an excellent choice to be the lead single from the album because "It isn't boring to listen to."

"Sarah delivers her vocals with a sense of urgency that matches the upbeat pace of 'Ikot-Ikot'", he added.
