"That's why I want to convey it through a song. This is something I have to convey because there is a feeling in my heart. In this increasingly modern era, people are getting further away from God. That sentence means humans who are saved from all temptations, such as anger, lust, and sins, and I combined them into a work. It became a song," said Mbah Mijan when met at his practice place, Modern Land Apartments Cikokol Tangerang, on Thursday (11/11/2021).

"It's just the two of us, I'm looking for a duet partner not based on their voice or appearance but based on their aura." I select close friends whose profession is a singer, I met Sindy Purbawati, a singer from Indonesia. She has a mystical aura combined with me, so it's the right soul. Moreover, some songs she sings also give a mystical impression. So I chose this duet partner through a meditation ritual because this song is meaningful," he added.
