Waltz returns with new song 'Cold Soup'

Published Oct 24, 2025 09:37 am
Singer-songwriter Waltz is back with a hauntingly beautiful new single, “Cold Soup,” and it’s set to tug at heartstrings with its raw emotion and introspective storytelling.
This new song certifies Waltz’s unique artistry, diving into the silent ache of love that lingers in familiarity rather than passion.
“Cold Soup” captures the moment when love no longer screams but whispers as it slowly and quietly vanishes.

In a statement, Waltz shared, “‘Cold Soup’ came from that space where love doesn't hurt loud anymore. It just gets quiet. Yung tipong pagod ka na, pero andun ka pa rin kasi sanay ka na sa sakit. (The kind where you're tired, but you're still there because you're used to the pain.)"
Waltz describes the song as a reflection of “love na paulit-ulit, hindi mo na alam kung totoo pa ba o comfort zone na lang.”
Unlike his earlier hits like “Paano” or “100 Dahilan”, “Cold Soup” leans into acceptance. “Ito ‘yung hindi na nagtatanong kung bakit, kundi tanggap na lang. (This is the one who doesn't ask why, but accepts it.)"
The result is a slow, sad love song that’s both deeply vulnerable and achingly relatable, carried by his signature smooth vocals.
Moreover, Waltz wrote “Cold Soup” while in Thailand, without a single instrument. “The melody and lyrics just came to me sobrang bilis, as in naririnig ko na siya sa isip ko habang sinusulat ko. Parang binulong lang sakin ng universe yung kanta. (The melody and lyrics just came to me so quickly, it was like I could hear it in my mind as I was writing it. It was like the universe just whispered the song to me.)"
This raw creative process infuses the track with an organic, unfiltered quality and relatable lyrics that resonate with listeners.

Waltz, under Ant Savvy Artist Management, invites OPM fans to sit with the stillness of faded love, offering a melody that feels like a warm yet bittersweet embrace.
During an interview at Viva Cafe in Araneta City, Waltz said he is now focused on music. He tried acting, but believes music is his passion.
Waltz also said that he has composed unreleased tracks and hopes to release some of them in 2026.
Of his music genre, Waltz said, "Ngayon, I am switching to Motown. I do ballads. Before alternative pop rock lang ang gusto ko. But now I explore different genres." He added that he will use social media to promote his latest song.
Waltz mentioned his musical influences."The Eraserheads. Since then, they've been one of my favorites. There's also Parokya ni Edgar, Mayonnaise, and Gary Valenciano. I've seen them live and they're so great. I've even been with Parokya ni Edgar, where I was one of the front acts. It's a really different experience. So solid."
“Cold Soup” is out on all digital streaming platforms on Oct. 24.
