"Namumula" is a song that speaks to those who are drawn to red flags, torn between doing what seems logical and strong feelings about who makes their hearts happy. Coming from his 2024 breakthrough hit Dilaw, which talked about picking up the pieces after being broken, Maki has released another track that resonates deeply with many. "Namumula" reflects the struggle of red flag 'enjoyers' and those who can't help but be drawn to them, trapped in their feelings, proving that sometimes, when in love, all logic fails.
