First released on January 20, ‘Pumila Ka’ features production from Rico Blanco, who co-composed the track with Racal. The pop anthem – which explores the themes of self-awareness and consideration for others – received a CG-heavy music video.

“I wanted to write a really relatable song and I was thinking of everyday expressions that I could build a song around,” Racal said of ‘Pumila Ka’ in a statement upon its release. “The inspiration for this song is the Filipino expression Pumila Ka usually endearingly delivered among friends when competing for a crush. I asked Rico Blanco for a dance beat, and so he quickly did a dancehall beat and within seconds, I was singing the chorus.”

The track marked Racal’s first release of the year, following a Filipino version of ‘Simulan (Starting Now)’ released in November for Disney’s Princesses campaign in the country.
