The May 24 episode of ASAP ended on an emotional high note with a heartfelt set from Maki, who performed three of his fan-favorite tracks that both uplifted and tugged at the heartstrings of viewers.
He opened his set with his well-loved hit “Dilaw”, a standout OPM track that previously set the record for Spotify’s highest single-day streams for an OPM release and played a key role in pushing Maki past the one billion total streams milestone on the platform. The special live performance also coincided with the song’s second anniversary.
The “yearner” vibe further amplified as promising Kapamilya heartthrobs Jarren Garcia and KD Estrada joined Maki onstage in singing “Nangungulila”, a performance that surely struck a chord with viewers through its portrayal of longing and missing someone deeply. He then closed his set with “Kailan”, which delves into the uncertainty and quiet longing that comes with waiting for love or closure.
Known for his signature use of color symbolism in his songs included in the “Kolorcoaster” album, the Gen Z hitmaker also stood out visually in a pink hoodie paired with camouflage cargo pants accented with pink details—an intentional styling choice that tied into the release of the official music video for his latest single, “habangbuhay pansamantala”, which dropped on the same day.
