The choice of this contrasting song actually has its own reason. According to Sigit Wardana as A&R of MD Music, this song is very relevant to the theme of the film's story, which focuses on the relationship between mother and child.

3. Different Vibe

"This song was chosen because it indeed provides a different vibe. Although it is the soundtrack for a horror film, Mama: Message From Hell tells the story of the relationship between a daughter and her mother. In my opinion, Efah with her distinctive voice and the song Remember Mama's Message can represent the turmoil of adolescence as well as the bond of love between mother and child," said Sigit Wardana.

4. Old Cassette Store

6. Rocker Side
