1. Falling in Love Singing the Song of Wisdom

Not only that, according to Hendro Saky, Meli deserves to be compared with Lesti (Champion of Dangdut Academy 1) and Selfi (Champion of LIDA 2018) with her distinctive cengko-cengkok dangdut voice.

Meli herself feels confident in performing the song 'Hikmah', in fact she fell in love with singing the song by Hendro Saky.

"I immediately really liked the song since I was first told that this song is for Meli. In fact, I was so excited that I couldn't wait for this song to be released. Coincidentally, I really like Hendro's father's songs too, so Alhamdulillah the recording process went smoothly and quickly," said Meli.

2. Spirit of Making the Music Video

After becoming the champion of Liga Dangdut Indonesia 2020, Meli was very excited during the making of the music video. This 16-year-old girl also couldn't forget about her shooting experience.

"So, the shooting was for 2 days, but Meli liked the second location better, because the shooting on the first day was outside, there was no phone charger and there were many mosquitoes, so Meli had to fight off the mosquitoes, haha... well, in the second location there was AC, phone charger, and the fun part was shooting with kak Randa and bang Gunawan, Meli was asked to act angry but ended up laughing while looking at kak Randa's expression, I just couldn't help but laugh," said the girl who is still in the first year of high school majoring in science.

"Meli wasn't really told how the shooting would end, only that there would be water splashing and Meli thought it was just plain water, but when it was already evening and it was the last scene, they were told that Meli and kak Randa had to pour coffee on each other's heads, oh my... imagine how sticky it was, I begged not to use coffee, just plain water, but mas Ryan the director didn't allow it. So we just surrendered for the sake of the best result," explained Meli.

3. Experience Making Music Video

When the shooting production was finished, Meli panicked because there was no bathroom at the shooting location, only a sink and a toilet. This experience made Meli unforgettable.

The music video starring Meli tells the story of Meli dating Randa and building a coffee shop business together. But after they broke up, there were many problems and arguments. In the midst of this bad relationship, Gunawan approached Meli.
