“This is Sud Ballecer. I am the vocalist and the songwriter of ‘Dumaloy’, and if I were to dedicate ‘Dumaloy’ to a female celebrity, I'd choose Heart Evangelista because she is my long-time celebrity crush and parang (ma)sarap lang kantahin sa kanya iyong kanta. Sobrang basic pero I think magugustughan niya ung song,” he said.

“Sobrang idol namin as a band iyong UpDharmaDown; so I think sobrang bagay if mag-cocollab kami like tutugtugin namin nang sabay iyong 'Dumaloy' and I think it fits with their sound. Malaking inspiration din ng songwriting ng 'Dumaloy' from UpDharmaDown kasi I've been listening to 'Unti-Unti', a song from UpDharmaDown. So I think babagay lang talaga siya with UpDharmaDownm” the band revealed

Written by the band’s vocalist, "Dumaloy" was conceptualized, written, and recorded during the lockdown – a major challenge for this dedicated and hardworking band that is used to creating music together inside a studio. The song was produced by Hale's Roll Martinez, who was also behind SUD’s previously released tracks "Di Makatulog," "Sana Bumalik," and "Headlights." The drum track was recorded by Jimbo Cuenco in The House of Billy Gaga Studios; main vocals, guitar parts by Sud Ballecer and keyboard tracks by Kohl Aguilar were recorded in Martinez’s studio; bass parts and back-up vocals by Raisa Racelis and saxophone tracks by Carlos de la Fuente were recorded in their respective homes. The track was mixed by Emil Dela Rosa, and mastered by Jett Galindo of the Bakery LA.

“For teenage fans, I think it's nice na at an early age, you get to experience what I experienced while writing 'Dumaloy' kasi mahirap hanapin iyong partner na makakapagpa-feel sa iyo ng mga ganoon - like iyong nagsskip ung (heart)beat mo and contented ka na tulad doon sa chorus na ‘sa wakas nandito ka na, natakot pa ako noong simula’. So for the teenagers, you have to hold on to that person and try your best to grow with them and maging better kayong person, kayong dalawa. I think iyon din naman ung theme ng 'Dumaloy', na sana dumaloy sana tayong sabay sa lahat. Good luck sa mga teenager na hindi pa nahahanap, and sa mga teenager na nahanap na, good job!” the vocalist added.
