TikToker Slico has released his debut single, “Bagkos,” featuring his captivating song covers and engaging singing content. The song showcases Slico’s talent with his light, clear vocals, bringing genuine emotion to lyrics about love. The line “Init ng mga haplos mo’y nagpahiwatig na tayong dalawa ay nakabagkos, tayo’y nagkabagkos” 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, instead). This blend captures 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 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 what it would feel like to be close, hold them, and 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; listen now!
