Singles:
"Bilang Saja"
"Bilang Saja" (English: Just Say) is the first single of the album.
The techno-influenced pop song criticizes men who will always do
everything to get what they
want without knowing the
problems they have caused, as
shown in the first verse of the
lyrics Lelaki terkadang selalu ingin memaksakan apa yang
mereka inginkan untuk memiliki,
sebelum semua menjadi semakin
masalah (Men sometimes want to
forcefully [get] what they want
to be theirs, before all gets into trouble). The music video,
however, draws hip hop influences.

will not regret loving her. The
music video for "Indah" is influenced by hip hop dance and culture.
"Cinta Mati"
"Cinta Mati" (English: Love to Death) was released as the third
single. The song was written and
features Indonesian pop rock record producer and singer- songwriter Ahmad Dhani. In the song, the protagonists of the
song tell how big their love is, as
they sing Cintaku sedalam
samudra/setinggi langit di
angkasa/kepadamu/cintaku
sebesar dunia/seluas jagad raya ini/kepadamu (My love is as deep
as ocean/as high as the sky in
the space/for you/My love is as
big as the world/as large as this
universe/for you). The music
video for the song features both artists singing with Agnes singing
in the coldness and Ahmad Dhani
singing and playing piano
surrounded by fire.
