Kapanlagi.com - The music group Methosa returns with their latest work titled Ratakan. This song is created as a full expression of support for the Indonesian National Football Team (Timnas) that is currently fighting in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. More than just a song, Ratakan serves as a symbol of spirit, hope, and the love of the Indonesian people for their beloved national team.
The title Ratakan itself is derived from a popular term in Sumatra which means 'defeat' or 'destroy'. In this context, Methosa wants to convey a strong message to the Indonesian National Team to perform with full confidence and defeat every opponent they face on the field. This song is also expected to boost the players' confidence and serve as a motivation during matches.
Not only is it a motivator for the team, but Ratakan is also designed with a provocative tone, aimed at shaking the mental of the opposing team. With a rhythm that ignites the spirit and lyrics full of motivation, Methosa hopes this song can become a psychological weapon that supports the Indonesian National Team's struggle on the green field.
1. Supporter Loyalty
One of the most inspiring quotes from this song goes:
"Today we stand in this place, bring the spirit of Garuda."
This sentence serves as a strong statement about the loyalty of Indonesian supporters who always back the national team wherever they compete, including in away games that are often filled with immense pressure. For Methosa, this quote reflects the courage and tireless spirit that defines Garuda supporters.
The song Ratakan also represents Methosa's existence in creating meaningful works. Until now, the band is known for often voicing social criticism through their music. However, this time Methosa presents something different, namely a form of appreciation and support for those who strive to elevate Indonesia's name on the international stage, one of which is the Indonesian National Football Team.

"We believe that the Indonesian National Team has great potential to shine on the world stage. With the release of this song, we want to provide a moral boost so that the players become even more enthusiastic in achieving their big dream, which is to compete in the 2026 World Cup," he said.
In addition to being a symbol of support, Ratakan is also hoped to become an anthem that resonates in the hearts of supporters. This song is not only for enjoyment but also to be sung together in the stadium stands, becoming a motivating voice that stirs the souls of the players during matches.
Methosa expressed his hope that Ratakan could be more than just a song. They want this work to represent the fighting spirit of the National Team and the pride of all Indonesian people. With a tune that ignites passion, accompanied by lyrics that resonate with hope, Methosa is confident that this song can be part of the National Team's great journey to the world football stage.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Ratakan is a song created from the heart. This is a work born from a deep love for Indonesian football and great hopes for the future of Garuda on the international stage.
