Feel the rush of one-sided love in Namumula, a standout track from Maki‘s debut album KOLORCOASTER, coming out on September 19, 2025. Maki, the 18-year-old Filipino sensation who blew up with his viral hit “Close” in 2024, pours his soul into this P-pop gem. Known for his smooth R&B vibes and heartfelt lyrics, he draws from real-life crushes and heartbreaks to create songs that hit close to home for young fans. Namumula—which means “blushing” in Tagalog—perfectly captures that awkward, exciting feeling of falling for someone who’s just a friend, or worse, already taken.
The song dives into the push-pull of emotions, with lines like “Nababaliw na naman ako” showing how a crush can mess up your whole routine—skipping projects to help the one you like. The chorus nails it: the brain says “stop,” but the heart keeps going, blushing no matter what. Maki’s playful delivery shines in the bridge, where she admits “Ikaw lang ang gusto” even if it’s not mutual, adding that bittersweet twist. Compared to tracks like “Close” or the album’s other singles such as “Labyrinth,” Namumula leans more into the vulnerability, with its upbeat yet aching melody produced by up-and-coming beatsmiths in the Manila scene. Dive into the Namumula lyrics below and feel its blushing intensity. Don’t miss other KOLORCOASTER tracks for more of Maki’s fresh P-pop charm.
Lyrics of Namumula by Maki
[Verse 1]
Nababaliw Na Naman Ako
Parang Sirang Nagpupuyat Para Sa’yo
‘di Ko Na Nagawa Ang Project Ko
Pero ‘yung Sa’yo At Sa Kapatid Mo, Ginagawa Ko
[Pre-Chorus]
Kupido, Seryosohin Mo Nga Ako
Bakit Lagi Na Lang Sa Tao Na Hindi Handa?
O ‘di Naman May Mahal Nang Iba?
[Chorus]
Namumula
Sabi Ng Utak, “Tama Na”
Ayaw Paawat Ng Aking Na-na-nadarama
Kahit Na-na-na
Namumula
Sabi Ng Puso, “Kaya Pa”
Hindi Tumitigil Kahit Pula
Ikaw Pa Rin, Sinta
[Verse 2]
Umiiyak Na Naman Ako
(He-he-he, Natatawa Na ‘ko, Gusto Mo, Nhiko, Ikaw?)
Pero Sabi Mo
(Friends Nga Lang Kami, Ba’t Ba Ayaw Mong Maniwala?)
Syempre, Maniniwala Ako Sa’yo
(Ikaw Na ‘yan, Eh, Hay)
[Pre-Chorus]
Kupido, Seryosohin Mo Nga Ako
Bakit Lagi Na Lang Sa Tao Na Hindi Handa?
O ‘di Naman May Mahal Nang Iba?
[Chorus]
Namumula
Sabi Ng Utak, “Tama Na”
Ayaw Paawat Ng Aking Na-na-nadarama
Kahit Na-na-na
Namumula
Sabi Ng Puso, “Kaya Pa”
Hindi Tumitigil Kahit Pula
Ikaw Pa Rin, Sinta, Oh
[Bridge]
Ikaw Lang Ang Gusto (Ikaw Lang Ang Gusto)
Kahit ‘di Ako Ang Gusto Mo (Kahit ‘di Ako’ng Gusto Mo)
‘eto Na, ‘di Na Nga Aasa
‘di Na Mamumula Sa Maling Tao
(Hello, Sa’n Ka?)
Shit (Ah)
[Chorus]
Sabi Ng Utak, “Tama Na” (Tama Na)
Ayaw Paawat Ng Aking Na-na-nadarama
Kahit Na-na-na (Na-na-na-na)
Namumula
Sabi Ng Puso, “Kaya Pa” (Ipipikit Na Lang Aking Mata)
Hindi Tumitigil Kahit Pula (Tatakpan Ko Na Lang Aking Tenga)
Ikaw Pa Rin, Sinta
[Outro]
He-he, Wow!
