Following the success of his viral hit \u201cSaan?\u201d Maki returns with another heartbreak anthem showcasing the aftermath of a relationship through his new single \u201cBakit?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Bakit?\u2019 is a song that expresses our \u2018marupok\u2019 selves after ending a confusing relationship,\u201d shared the Tarsier Records\u2019 artist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe usually ask ourselves \u2018Bakit kaya nagawa niya sa\u2019kin yun? Bakit kaya niya ko iniwanan ng ilang beses?\u2019 But ang pinaka mabigat at confusing na \u2018bakit\u2019 ay kahit ginawa niya yung lahat ng mga bagay na hindi mo inaasahan sa kanya, bakit mahal mo pa rin siya?\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Maki finds the alternative pop single one of his most heart-wrenching, he hopes that it would offer comfort and ease to listeners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis song is actually one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever written. With this, I want people to know that asking questions within yourselves is okay. But, blaming yourself for everything is not. You have to realize na kaya ka marupok is because genuine yung love mo sa kanya and you did your best for them.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The music video<\/a>, which dropped last July 5, also showcases Maki\u2019s chemistry with Kapamilya actress Karina Bautista who plays as his love interest. The music video also serves as a sequel to the music video of \u201cSaan?\u201d which was released last April.<\/p>\n

As one of the fresh faces of OPM, Maki has released several viral hits such as his R&B rendition of \u201cGusto Ko Nang Bumitaw\u201d which earned over 900,000 streams on Spotify and his previous single \u201cSaan?<\/a>\u201d which entered the top 50 of Spotify Philippines\u2019 Viral Songs chart. He also landed on the cover of Pinoy Indie Mix and was featured on .ORG, a regional Spotify playlist which showcases the up-and-coming talents in Asia.<\/p>\n
