Paham are back with their most heart-on-sleeve release yet. The five-piece Filipino indie/alt-rock band — Cymon, James, Kian, Yuan, and Ryen — channel hesitation and heartbreak in their new single ‘Duwag’, a confessional slow-burn that captures the ache of unspoken feelings.
With warm guitars, retro synths, and that classic Manila City Pop glow, ‘Duwag’ sounds like a love letter from someone still stuck on the “what ifs.” It’s a soft, steady groove that teeters between quiet courage and emotional restraint — a modern-day harana for anyone who's loved in silence.
“Gusto kita. Wala nang iba.” The track doesn’t shout it — it whispers it, hoping the other person is listening.
Paham rose from hallway jams to playlist covers alongside acts like SB19 and BINI, earning over two million streams on viral hit ‘Hiraya’. Their self-titled debut album, released earlier this year under Off The Record (Sony Music Philippines), solidified their place in the new wave of OPM storytellers.
