Breakthrough artist Maki opens his doors for a blossoming love in his new single “Dilaw,” which has become an instant hit, peaking at no. 2 in Spotify Philippines Top 50 chart.
It also debuted at #200 on the Global Spotify chart with 1.162 million streams. It marks the third Filipino song in history to enter the Global Spotify track.
The indie alternative track released under Tarsier Records likens the hope and happiness to the yellow color as it captures the experience of finding love after overcoming a painful past. Maki wrote the song with Nameless Kids’ vocalist Nhiko Sabiniano who also served as its 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 to a rollercoaster ride of emotions dealing with finding and losing love at the same time.
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.”
