"In fact, in the last 10 years, Slank's albums have been trying to convey criticism towards the social issues in Indonesia," added Bimbim.

About the title 'Joged', Kaka explained that it reflects Slank's approach to the diversity of Indonesian culture, where each region has its own unique cultural heritage.

"Each region has its own dance or joged. So the meaning of the word Joged is very broad, even though the song remains critical," said Kaka.

"Slank tries to innovate, including with this album. The music is very different, but we still rock n roll," said Bimbim.
