Manny Pacquiao tried to quit the music game, but he just couldn’t stay away.
He’s best known for his boxing, but Pacquiao’s dabbled in other things away from the ring including basketball, politics and yes, even singing. The musical career wasn’t especially successful for the boxer, but he’s on the comeback trail.
The Filipino boxer is releasing a new song titled “Lalaban ako para sa Pilipino,” which when translated to English reads, “I Will Fight for the Philippines.” Even better, Pacquiao will use that song when he walks to the ring on May 2 for his wildly anticipated bout with Floyd Mayweather.
Here’s a sampling of the new track.

Obviously not great, but honestly, it could be worse. When it comes to Pacquiao’s singing career, it’s unlikely anything will be worse than “Sometimes When We Touch.”
