In his performance, SBY did not perform alone. He was accompanied by Tohpati Music Director Orchestra and several other musicians. One of the songs he performed with Rio Febrian is "Ku Yakin Sampai di Sana", which he created in 2008.

SBY also performed a song that raises the issue of climate change titled "Untuk Bumi Kita". This song was inspired by his experience when invited to Norway in an effort to combat global warming.

"This one song brings back memories. Yes, indeed it was a dark memory in 2021 with the COVID-19 pandemic. Do you still remember? At that time, I was inspired to create a song," he said.

"Finally, I created the title Light in the Darkness. This song reflects on the past of the city and also prays for our brothers and sisters who have passed away due to COVID to find peace with the Almighty," he continued.
