Get ready to fall in love with Slico’s first-ever single! The viral TikToker, known for his captivating song covers and engaging singing content, has officially dropped his highly anticipated debut song “Bagkos” — a perfect showcase of his talent.
Slico’s light, clear vocals bring genuine emotion to lyrics about love. Take the line, “Init ng mga haplos mo’y nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos, tayo’y nagkabagkos,” which highlights his ability to express deep feelings with simplicity.
The term “nagkabagkos” is a creative twist by the songwriter. Though it’s not a formal word, it feels familiar, echoing “nagkabigkis” (bound together) while also hinting at “bagkos” (but, rather). This blend captures both closeness and contradiction — the sweetness of being tied to someone and the bittersweet ache of knowing it may only exist in memory.
In Slico’s own words, “‘Bagkos’ is a love song about wanting someone you truly admire but realizing things didn’t turn out as hoped. You’re left admiring them from afar, holding on to the thought of what it would feel like to be close, to hold them, and to call them yours. The word ‘nakabagkos’ (tied) shows how you remain bound to that feeling.”
What’s next for Slico? Fans can look forward to a music video for “Bagkos” coming soon. Meanwhile, the single is available for streaming on all major platforms — don’t miss out, give it a listen now!
BAGKOS

Verse 1:
Habang pinagmamasdan ang kislap ng ‘yong mga mata.
Sa’yong mala anghel na tinig, nakabibihag na titig, natagpuan ko ang pag-ibig.
Pre-Chorus:
Larawan mo’y nakapinta, sa aking alaala.
Walang katumbas, Ikaw ay nag iisa.
Chorus:
Init ng mga haplos mo’y,
nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nagkabagkos,
tayo’y nagkabagkos.
Verse 2:
Tatahakin ang ‘yong puso,
hindi na papaluhain muli, muli..
Aalagaan ang damdamin,
mga sugat mo’y pahihilumin, wagas na,
ika’y mahalaga sa’kin.
Pre Chorus:
Larawan mo’y nakapinta, sa aking alaala.
Walang katumbas, Ikaw ay nag iisa.
Chorus 2:
Init ng mga haplos mo’y,
nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos,
tayo’y nagkabagkos.
Dahan dahan kang humimlay,
kapit ka sa magkabilang kamay, kamay.
Chorus:
Init ng mga haplos mo’y,
nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos,
tayo’y nagkabagkos.
