"Dilaw" (lit. 'Yellow' in Tagalog) is a song by Filipino singer Maki. It was released as a digital pre-single for his debut album Kolorcoaster on May 24, 2024, through Tarsier Records, and was written by Ralph William Datoon and produced by Nhiko Sabiniano. "Dilaw" is an indie alternative track that explores the themes of unconditional love. The music video, co-directed by Jaydee Alberto and Maki, portrays a romantic narrative between two young artists, played by Maki and Maloi of the P-pop girl group Bini. Set in a high school, the video uses art as a central theme to depict the characters' growing bond, with visual elements symbolizing the joy and color one person can bring into another life.
The song peaked at number one on Billboard's now defunct Philippines Songs chart, topping the chart in its final issue. It later debuted atop the newly relaunched Billboard Philippines Hot 100, becoming the first song to rank number one on the chart. On Spotify, "Dilaw" set the record for the platform's highest single-day streams by an OPM song and contributed to Maki's success as the male OPM artist with the most monthly listeners.
