Zack Tabudlo returns with “Tunay,” a heartfelt track that reframes modern panliligaw through sincerity, respect, and genuine intention. Known for his emotionally resonant songwriting, Zack takes a refreshing turn by highlighting a rarely discussed part of Filipino courtship—not just winning over a partner, but earning the trust and approval of their parents as well.
“Tunay” tells the story of courage and commitment, where love is proven not through grand gestures, but through honesty and acts of service. The song captures the vulnerability of stepping forward with nothing but pure intentions, emphasizing that real love shows up in effort, patience, and respect.
Joining Zack on the track are rising voices from the Gen Z hip-hop scene, Robledo Timido, Nateman, and Paul N Ballin—each adding their own perspective to the narrative. Their verses bring texture and realism to the story, blending melodic emotion with grounded, street-level storytelling that reflects today’s evolving idea of romance.
The collaboration is fully self-produced by Zack Tabudlo, who also handled the mixing and mastering of the track. This hands-on approach allows “Tunay” to feel personal and cohesive, staying true to the song’s message while seamlessly blending pop and hip-hop elements.
With “Tunay,” Zack continues to expand his artistry, bridging heartfelt storytelling with contemporary sounds and meaningful collaborations. The track stands as a reminder that love, when it’s real, is built on truth and that sincerity will always speak louder than promises. “Tunay” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
