Uhaw by Dilaw is a viral OPM (Original Pilipino Music) indie-pop hit that swept across Southeast Asia. The song is in the key of B♭ with no capo, and uses jazz-flavoured chord voicings — Bb, D7, EbM7, EbmM7, F#M7, C#M7 — giving it its distinctive warm, dreamy sound. The major 7th chords are key to nailing the vibe.

Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
The EbM7 (major 7th) chord is the emotional centrepiece of Uhaw — it has a lush, bittersweet quality. Practice transitioning from Bb to D7 to EbM7 until it feels smooth. The bridge uses F#M7 and C#M7 — these are barre chord shapes that sound beautiful with a gentle arpeggiated strum. On piano, voice these major 7th chords in close position (root–3rd–5th–7th) for a rich, intimate texture.
