From the Challenge Podcast, Dedap Creates 'Don't Look for Me' That Goes Viral and Makes Netizens Emotional

Kapanlagi.com - Young musician Dedap once again captures attention with his latest work titled Don't Look for Me. Uniquely, this song was initially created accidentally while Dedap was a guest on the podcast Rene And Jagong hosted by Meisita Lomania in Jakarta.

During that session, Meisita challenged Dedap to spontaneously create a song with the theme "Someone who is tired of chasing their love." The challenge was accepted, and the chorus of the song Don't Look for Me was born, although it was not yet completed with verses and full arrangements at that time.

Without further ado, Dedap shared a snippet of the song's chorus on TikTok. Unexpectedly, the response from netizens was beyond expectation. The video garnered nearly 700 thousand views, with a flood of comments asking Dedap to finish the song.

1. Working Seriously

Many feel that the lyrics and melody resonate so relate with their experiences, especially regarding the feeling of exhaustion in pursuing love that remains unreciprocated.

With such strong support, Dedap became even more convinced to finish this song. The opportunity came when he met the Bandung-based producer, Yoga Wardana Kusumah from the band 5Petani. Yoga saw great potential in the song Jangan Cari Aku and invited Dedap to work on it seriously.

The production process of this song involved a number of talented musicians. In addition to Yoga as the producer, there was Iwan Popo who played strings and keys, Olsen on guitar, Paul Parulian on bass, and Canggar Krisnatry from Borland Audiolabs who handled mixing and mastering. All recording processes were done at Lakipadada Studio, resulting in mature and emotional audio quality.

In general, Jangan Cari Aku tells the story of someone who is tired of chasing love and ultimately chooses to leave, letting go of the person they love to be with whoever they choose. The lyrics imply the message that sometimes letting go is better than forcing a relationship that could end badly.

3. Representing the Feelings of Many People

Dedap hopes that this song can represent the feelings of many people who are in that phase. "It's better to let go than to force it because it won't be good in the end," said Dedap.

He also wants to remind that everyone is valuable in the eyes of the right person, so there is no need to force oneself for unbalanced love.

4. Choosing to Let Go

The unique story behind the creation of Jangan Cari Aku serves as proof that inspiration can come at any time, even from sudden challenges. With the support of fans and collaboration from musicians, this song has not only gone viral on social media but also carries a deep meaning that can touch the hearts of its listeners.

With its official release, Dedap is optimistic that Jangan Cari Aku will become more widely known and serve as a soundtrack for those who choose to let go. This song is now available on various digital music platforms, ready to accompany moments of melancholy while also reminding us to appreciate ourselves.
