Learning to Let Go of the Past, Margie Brings Hope and a New Image Through 'I Deserve to Be Happy'

Kapanlagi.com - The beautiful singer Margareth is once again enlivening the Indonesian music industry with her latest single release, I Deserve to Be Happy. The song is a creation of the composer named Pika Iskandar.

The girl who is familiarly called Margie said that all her hopes as a singer have truly come true in this single. Margie also feels very satisfied because she was directly involved in the music production process, video concept, and marketing strategy.

"I want a slightly dramatic music that still showcases my vocal character. But not excessive, still comfortable to the listeners' ears," said Margie in a press release received by KapanLagi.com.

"Usually, I only receive the finished product from my label. This time, I am really involved and working hard with my label, Pelangi Records. And I really like it," she continued.

Margie has long wanted to be involved and experiment with creative ideas and experiences she has gained. According to Margie, I Deserve to Be Happy gives a new image to herself.

"The new image shows that I am no longer Margareth who is down because of confusion, but Margie who has learned from past experiences and can appreciate herself," Margie continued.

Through this single, the woman named Margareth Siagian decided to change her stage name to Margie. Apparently, there is a reason behind her decision.

"Learning to let go of the past by opening a new page, new spirit, and new hope. Becoming a new-born Margie," she added with a smile.

This song is derived from Margie's personal story, specifically about love in her past, where the sincerity of her love was once not valued, not considered, and left cold by her lover. Until finally, Margie decided to let go of her love because she realized she should not linger in sadness that makes her life unproductive and negative. Margie then moved on and rose. She felt deserving of happiness.

Because she has merged with her song, Margie admitted that she had no difficulty in singing it at all. The difficulty only came when Margie was asked to act in front of the camera in the making of her music video.

"There is no difficulty because I truly experienced this song and the musical notation is also very me. But shooting the video was quite difficult because it was like a soap opera, there were many scenes that I was still stiff in," Margie concluded.
