During the record-breaking event, Bunga managed to raise a donation of 2.2 billion, which was given to 1400 orphans throughout Indonesia through the Mizan Amanah Foundation.
Continuing her debut single titled Panggrantesing Jagad (Sadness of the Earth) released in January 2020, Bunga Bangsa released her second single titled Prahara Rusaking Jagad (The Incident of Earth's Destruction) on May 25, 2022.
"I released it a week before my 17th birthday," said Bunga Bangsa in her written statement.

As a patriotic Indonesian, Bunga Bangsa has a mission to preserve the culture, language, and traditional music of Indonesia. She still uses Javanese language as the lyrics in her latest single.
"In addition, several traditional Indonesian musical instruments such as gamelan, flute, zither, and kendang are beautifully wrapped in a unified composition together with Bunga Bangsa's modern and progressive metal genre music," she said.
2. Collaboration with Great Musicians of the Homeland

Prahara Rusaking Jagad tells the story of the damage to the earth caused by human actions that exploit the Earth excessively and use it for personal and group interests without thinking about the long-term impact on the sustainability of all living creatures on Earth.
In the making of the music video, Bunga Bangsa collaborated with several great musicians in the country; Agung Hellfrog (Burgerkill), Hinhin (Nectura), Arief (Kapten), Ady Julian (Yovie n Nuno), Artmay Studio Tari, and Swarantara Traditional Music Group.
Hopefully, this work can enrich the music repertoire in Indonesia and can be a message to all listeners that the Earth we inhabit can endanger our lives and our future generations, if the behavior and attitude we have towards the Earth is done brutally and irresponsibly. Let's be wise in taking care of the Earth, so that the Earth can take care of us.
