Parang araw-araw silang nag-aaway. Sanay na rin siya sa partner niya na hindi sila swak kaya napunta siya sa thought na kung pwede ba siyang iwasan na lang o pwede bang maghiwalay na sila,&quot; Waltz told ABS-CBN News in an interview on Friday.</p><p>He said that the song is a reflection of “love na paulit-ulit, hindi mo na alam kung totoo pa ba o comfort zone na lang.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:955px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1762496416253SAC05193 (1).JPG" style="width:955px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-dragging"/><span class="fr-inner">OPM singer-songwriter Waltz. <em>Handout</em></span></span></span></div><p>Through &quot;Cold Soup,&quot; Waltz hopes to encourage people who are no longer happy in a relationship to be real and let go of the toxic relationship.</p><p>&quot;Just be real with yourself and kung nararamdaman mong nahihirapan ka and toxic na, pwede kang bumitaw. Kasi malawak ang life at marami ka pang mae-experience na iba. Let go if napi-feel mo na &#x27;yung pressure at nararamdaman mong hindi ka naggo-grow as a person,&quot;  Waltz said, when asked of the song&#x27;s message.</p><p>According to Waltz, he penned “Cold Soup” while in Thailand with some of his friends.</p><p>&quot;Alam naman natin kapag trip with friends hindi maiiwasan ang drama. Kanya-kanyang eksena ng friends natin. Na-inspire ako sa ganoon sa mga magkakaibigan lang. Hanggang sa nabuo ko. Nagawa ko siya ng walang instrument. Parang binulong na lang talaga sa akin ni universe &#x27;yung sa akin,&quot; Waltz recalled.</p><p>The 25-year-old artist said the song&#x27;s melody and lyrics just came smoothly and that he was able to finish the song in less than an hour.</p><p>&quot;Thankful that I was given a free song. For me, it&#x27;s a free song because everything was there, the story, scenery and inspiration. Got mixed together and the result was a beautiful song. So I&#x27;m really thankful to God, to universe&quot; said Waltz, who hopes to release visuals of &quot;Cold Soup.&quot;</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:633px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1762496952752SAC05184.JPG" style="width:633px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">OPM artist Waltz. <em>Handout</em></span></span></span></div><p>Waltz, whose full name is John Walter Dumagan, was only three years old when he started singing. Even without musical roots, he knew at a young age that he has a passion for music and that he loves to sing.</p><p>In 2018, he joined the music industry as part of the singing group Down by 18. In 2023, after leaving his former band, Waltz reemerged as a solo singing artist and released the songs  &quot;Ikaw,&quot; &quot;Paano,&quot; &quot;100 Dahilan&quot; and &quot;Marahuyo.&quot; </p><p>Currently, aside from being busy with gigs, Waltz is gearing up to release more music next year.</p><p>&quot;Siguro mayroon akong four songs na ilalabas next year. Parang Part 2 ng &#x27;Marahuyo.&#x27; Ang title naman noon ay &#x27;Sansinukob.&#x27; Sana abangan niyo po,&quot; he said.</p><p>Waltz is hoping to collaborate with Moira dela Torre, Flow-G, December Avenue and IV of Spades.</p><p>As a singer, Waltz is hoping to spread positivity and love through his music. He concluded by expressing his gratitude to all his fans and followers.</p><p>&quot;I love you so much.Thank you so much for supporting me no matter what. Kayo ang inspirasyon ko always,&quot; Waltz said.</p>
