Not only the lyrics, but the classic dangdut music combined with Selfi's singing technique make this song even more heart-wrenching. Even during the recording process, Selfi felt challenged.

"Wow, when I remember the recording process, it was quite draining. I could take up to 9 times, Selfi often discussed with the teacher (Adibal) and wanted the best results, so I asked for multiple takes in certain parts," said the singer who was once awarded as the Best Solo Dangdut Artist by AMI Awards in 2022.

Along with the meaning of the lyrics, the music video also depicts the story of the song in detail. "So, the story is about a woman who has given her trust to her boyfriend, but it turns out that the girl's positive thinking ends up disappointed," said Selfi Yamma.

"In the music video, her boyfriend cheats on her with a colleague. So, the message of the song is, no matter how good your partner is, no matter how much you trust them, don't trust them 100%. For Selfi, when it comes to betrayal, it seems unforgivable because it has become a habit," she continued.

3. Hoping Her Acting Can Be Accepted by the Community

In this music video, Selfi also feels that she is more fully immersed in the story because she believes that the meaning of the song is that deep. "This music video is more detailed, it really depicts the story clearly, so the lyrics and the music video are really portrayed clearly, hopefully Selfi's acting can also entertain all of you," Selfi concluded.

When a lyric is depicted realistically in a music video through the director's direction, surely you as the viewer will also feel immersed in the sadness of the song 'Berkali-Kali'.
