Pamungkas' latest song titled Putus, features a fresh and different upbeat atmosphere from the ballad character he usually performs. This change in tone was inspired by his meeting with Ahmad Dhani, the legendary Indonesian musician. Pamungkas' collaboration with Ahmad Dhani a few years ago on the songs Risalah Hati and Pupus had a significant impact on the direction of Pamungkas' music today.

Ahmad Dhani provided valuable advice to Pamungkas, which subsequently influenced the production process of Pamungkas' latest album. In an Instagram post on July 25, 2024, Pamungkas revealed that Dhani recommended he try creating hit songs with an upbeat tempo, moving away from the old pattern that often focused on ballads. Dhani stated that it was time for Pamungkas to explore a new musical style.

Pamungkas added that Ahmad Dhani provided examples of upbeat songs from Dewa, such as Arjuna and Sayap-Sayap Patah, as references. This advice encouraged Pamungkas to experiment with a more cheerful and energetic musical style in his latest album.

Pamungkas revealed that the idea for the song Putus came from input from someone close to him, and it turned out he had not previously had a song with that title. In the writing process, Pamungkas had many discussions with Harry Budiman, a renowned producer, composer, and songwriter in Indonesia. These discussions were very helpful in perfecting the melody and structure of the song to make it more interesting and enjoyable for many listeners.

Pamungkas noted how difficult it was to create an energetic chorus that was still fun to sing along to. Through this process, he aimed to ensure that the song Putus not only had a pleasant tempo but also the quality that made it worth listening to repeatedly.

The single Putus became available on all music streaming platforms on July 25, 2024. This song serves as a special offering leading up to the release of Pamungkas's latest album, Hardcore Romance, which is scheduled to be released at the end of August 2024. With a fresh upbeat style, Pamungkas successfully brings a new vibe to his musical works.

The advice from Ahmad Dhani that encouraged Pamungkas to create upbeat songs still resonates in his mind and serves as the main motivation in his creative process.
"The input from Mas Dhani greatly influences my way of thinking," writes Pamungkas, adding that the suggestion had a significant impact on the direction of his music.

Pamungkas also acknowledges that the album Cintailah Cinta by Dewa 19 is one of the main references for his new album, Hardcore Romance. However, Ahmad Dhani's perspective has a significant and positive impact on his exploration as a songwriter, helping him delve deeper into new musical aspects.

In his effort to create the album, Pamungkas focuses not only on musicality but also on vocals. He even trains with a football coach to improve his endurance and core leg muscle strength, which supports his vocal technique to sing with a raspy voice.
"It turns out that to sing with a raspy voice, support from the core leg muscles is very important," explains Pamungkas.
