Dom Guyot and Zae flip the script on betrayal with new song “manloloko”

The genre-bending release merges Brazilian funk and Afrobeat pop with sharp lyrical bite

Filipino singer-songwriter Dom Guyot teams up with Filipina femcee Zae for “manloloko,” a summer-ready bop that blends infectious rhythms with confrontational verses. The track doubles as a call for listeners to reclaim their voice and refuse manipulation in all forms.

Lyrically speaking, “manloloko” is about exposing deception and standing firm against people who exploit others for personal gain—be it your loved ones, friends, or the folks in power. Through unfiltered storytelling and fierce vocal performances, Dom and Zae flip the narrative on men who believe they can deceive without consequences.
