Maki, a breakthrough artist, has released his new single “Dilaw,” which has topped the Spotify Philippines Top 50 chart. The indie alternative track, written by Maki and Nhiko Sabiniano, evokes hope and happiness, resembling the yellow color of love. The song, released under Tarsier Records, highlights the experience of finding love after overcoming a painful past. The trending music video features Bini Maloi.
“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 2.5 million views and peaked at no.1 on YouTube’s trending list for music. On Spotify, the track has received 10 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 3.8 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.”
