Malaysian singer-songwriter Firdhaus recently released a brand new single, 'Perhaps This Is the Last Song I Write for You.' With the MV's premiere last night, it set off a wave of online discussion about old loves and reconciliation, with netizens even describing it as a drama of 'reconciliation of the century.'
Firdhaus and his ex-girlfriend, fellow Malaysian singer-songwriter Da Ying, officially announced their breakup in October last year. Since then, speculations about their relationship have persisted, with various rumors about breakups and reunions circulating. Neither party responded directly nor interacted publicly. That was until Firdhaus released his new song, reigniting the topic of their past relationship.
At an earlier press conference, Firdhaus said the song was inspired by a trip at the beginning of the year with a male friend he has known for many years. However, details in the storyline and visuals still led many netizens to speculate and try to guess whether the song was about someone else.
Soon after the MV premiered, Da Ying unexpectedly shared the link to Firdhaus's new song on her Instagram story, simply writing "Thank you." This move immediately caught the keen attention of netizens. Even more intriguing, Firdhaus also reposted the related story with the words "Settled." This rare remote interaction between the two instantly sparked discussion, with many fans exclaiming, "Never thought we'd see this day."
The story didn't end there. Da Ying later responded further through her Instagram story, directly addressing outside speculation, stating that the two "are not together, nor was there any cheating." She described what happened back then as "youthful recklessness," admitting it now seems ridiculous yet can be laughed off, and urged netizens not to over-discuss the topic, emphasizing that it is already in the past.
This exchange has been interpreted by many netizens as a formal reconciliation between the two. As for the sudden 'reconciliation of the century,' fans are divided. Some feel nostalgic for the end of youthful chapters, while others wish them well as they move forward separately.
