The fast-rising OPM outfit turns the restless cycle of overthinking into a genre-bending track fueled by funk, synths, and raw alternative rock

Fast-rising OPM band NEXTONE returns with “Nagkulang,” a new single that pairs infectious groove with the emotional weight of second-guessing one’s value once a relationship no longer works out.

Released under Sony Music Entertainment, the track mines crossover potential with a distinctly nocturnal sound, weaving punchy rhythms, city pop influences, glimmering synths, and modern pop-rock textures into a melodic, fist-pumping jam.

The song’s concept began with the word itself. From there, the band developed a narrative centered on someone who, despite believing they did nothing wrong in a relationship, comes to terms with self-doubt in the wake of an unexpected romantic fallout.
