Maki’s new single, “Dilaw,” has become a hit, leading to number 1 on the Spotify Philippines Top 50 Songs chart. The indie alternative track, released under Tarsier Records, evokes hope and happiness, resembling the yellow color of love after overcoming a painful past. Written by Maki and Nameless Kids’ vocalist Nhiko Sabiniano, the song also serves as a producer.
“I actually wrote this song for myself, para sa batang ako na laging naghahanap ng love sa ibang tao. Yung sobrang bigay siya nang bigay ng pagmamahal tapos hindi niya nakukuha pabalik. Now, I realize na after so many heartbroken moments in my life, di ko na mahal yung sarili ko. Dapat yung dilaw natin unang-una sa lahat ay yung sarili natin,” Maki said.
He also released the music video for “Dilaw,” which features BINI member Maloi as her partner. The MV takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, simultaneously dealing with finding and losing love.
Two weeks after its release, “Dilaw” earned 2.7 million views and peaked at no.1 on YouTube’s trending list for music. On Spotify, the track has received over 11 million streams so far. It is also featured on Spotify’s Tatak Pinoy, Hot Hits Philippines, and RADAR Philippines playlist. The track also debuted at no. 4 on Billboard Philippines Songs Chart.
Maki, who now has 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, previously released the songs “HBD,” “Kailan?,” “Bakit?,” and his biggest hit to date, “Saan?” He also released a collaboration song with Angela Ken and Nhiko titled “Sikulo.”
