This brand new love song by the five-piece alt-pop group is another potential hit, highly reminiscent of SUD's most popular single “Sila,” as is it currently streaming on major digital platforms.
"Dumaloy,” which is the follow up single to their recent hit “Sagutan,” is centered on heartfelt lyrics that focuses on the concept of falling in love and how it affects the person who is in love.

"She is my long-time celebrity crush and parang (ang) sarap lang kantahin sa kanya iyong kanta. Sobrang basic pero I think magugustughan niya 'yung song,” he said

“I think sobrang bagay if mag-collab kami like tutugtugin namin ng sabay iyong 'Dumaloy' and I think it fits with their sound. Malaking inspiration din ng songwriting ng 'Dumaloy' from Up Dharma Down kasi I've been listening to 'Unti-Unti,' a song from Up Dharma Down, so I think babagay lang talaga siya with Up Dharma Down,” the band said.

"Dumaloy" was conceptualized, written, and recorded during the lockdown – a major challenge for the band which is used to creating music together inside a studio.

“For teenage fans, I think it's nice na at an early age, you get to experience what I experienced while writing 'Dumaloy' kasi mahirap hanapin iyong partner na makakapagpa-feel sa iyo ng mga ganoon - like iyong nagsi-skip ung (heart)beat mo and contented ka na tulad doon sa chorus na 'sa wakas nandito ka na, natakot pa ako noong simula.' So for the teenagers, you have to hold on to that person and try your best to grow with them and maging better kayong person, kayong dalawa. I think iyon din naman 'yung theme ng 'Dumaloy', na sana dumaloy sana tayong sabay sa lahat. Good luck sa mga teenager na hindi pa nahahanap, and sa mga teenager na nahanap na, good job!” Ballecer said.
