Listen to Zack Tabudlo’s Ba’t Ganto Ang Pag-ibig: https://ZackTabudlo.lnk.to/BatGantoAngPagibig
It’s
interesting to think how infatuation can bloom into something divinely
romantic, yet difficult to articulate. But in Zack Tabudlo’s universe,
expressing one’s affection is better delivered in stripped-down, guitar-pop
music—as if he knows that a way to someone’s heart is a sweet, melodic chorus
and a soaring instrumentation.
Released
ahead of his highly anticipated debut album, Episode, Zack Tabudlo’s new
single “Ba’t Ganto Ang Pag-ibig” proves that he’s a troubadour of unrequited
love songs. It captures the conflicting emotions that people of all ages could
relate to. But most importantly, it’s a song that bursts with earnest
sentimentality.
According to Zack himself, “Ba’t Ganto Ang Pag-ibig” is about someone you like, but is admired by a lot of people. “You don't know if you stand a chance to everyone else, but you genuinely just want the person to be happy,” the young hitmakers shares in a statement. “You will always be the one call away for that person no matter what.”
With
acoustic guitars and subtle, meditative arrangements shaping the tune into a
laid-back and bittersweet affair, Zack knows how to work his charm with a
deceptively simple tune. He questions his love for the other person, yet at the
end of it all, he’s just trying to muster the courage to confess and open up
his feelings no matter the consequences.
“I
want the audience to feel that they're not alone with what they feel for
someone they admire,” Zack explains. “It’s hard to confess feelings, and with
this song, they can lean towards it and maybe help with their confidence or
help with what they feel.”
Like
his other material, “Ba’t Ganto Ang Pag-ibig” is written, composed, produced,
mixed, and mastered by Zack Tabudlo. Zack points out, “it has a very laid-back
feel to it lyrics wise or production wise. It’s something that a lot of people
would just vibe to.”
Zack Tabudlo’s
“Ba’t Ganto Ang Pag-ibig” is out now on all streaming platforms worldwide via
Island Records Philippines and MCA Music Inc.

With a slew of catchy singles under his belt, all leading up to what’s looking to be a promising full-length in the future, the young musician is gaining momentum. His hustle may have been riding below the radar, but one can expect 2021 to be Zack’s year.
