For those who waited a year, Rico Blanco's new album "Your Universe" is definitely worth it. It's a defining mark in the 35-year-old musician's career, and a reminder that he has the freedom to experiment and collaborate with others without compromising sound.
Through the ten tracks of "Your Universe," we can confirm that Rico's personal passions are gracefully translated into songs distinctly and undeniably his, even as he collaborates with some of the industry’s best musicians for this album.
He knows how to tickle the fancy of Filipinos by delivering the right amount of romantic prose minus the extra saccharine shot of sap. Perhaps it can be said that he knows the formula of the Filipino's heart which makes his music work. Definition and identity. This is what sets Rico Blanco apart from most of the local acts. He knows his niche in the industry and makes his mark the way a true blooded artist should: original and a strong definition of one's identity.

hindi naman ito sinasadya
sorry naman
nahulog na lamang akong bigla
pinilit kong lumaban
pinilit lumayo
pinilit huwag titigan
mga larawan mo oh woh
bigla na lang ang puso ko'y naging iyo
sorry, sorry naman
sorry, sorry naman
sorry naman
alam ko na tayo'y nagkasundo
kaibigan
ang dapat na ituring ko sa'yo
pinilit kong lumaban
pinilit lumayo
pinilit di tawagan, bagong number mo oh oh oh oh
bigla na lang umikot ang aking mundo
bigla na lang ang puso ko'y naging iyo
sorry, sorry naman
sorry, sorry naman
pinilit kong lumaban
pinilit lumayo
pinilit wag titigan ig at fb mo ohoh ohoh
bigla na lang umikot ang aking mundo
bigla na lang ang puso ko'y naging iyo
sorry, sorry naman
sorry, sorry namahaahaan
The Rico Blanco song "Sorry Naman" is about a person who is apologizing for falling in love with their friend. The song starts with the titular phrase "sorry naman" which means "I'm sorry" in Filipino. The person then explains that falling in love was not intentional, and that it just happened unexpectedly. They tried to fight it, tried to distance themselves, and even stopped looking at pictures of the object of their affection, but their world still turned upside down and their heart became someone else's.
The person also acknowledges that they had previously agreed to be friends with the other person, and that's all they should have been. They try to go back to being friends and keep their distance, not calling or trying to contact them through social media. But despite their efforts, their heart is still with this person and they end the song with another "sorry naman".
The song's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has fallen in love unexpectedly, especially with someone they've previously only seen as a friend. The struggle to accept and deal with those feelings can be difficult, and the song's message of apology and acknowledgement of those challenges is a comforting reminder that they are not alone in that struggle.
