Kapanlagi.com - Some time ago, Sammy Simorangkir made his fans curious with his comeback single. This is Sammy's first single after not releasing any new singles for years.
Now, it is revealed that the song is a recycle of Dibalas Dengan Dusta which was previously a hit song performed by Audy Item in 2003. In the previous teaser, Sammy, who is still under the PRO-M label, gave a clue 'familiar to the ears'.
"Just a comparison. The important thing is when I sing Glenn's song. Audy sang it, I see it as just opening the way, so it's just about packaging it more interestingly and differently. Continuing the longing feeling," said Sammy in a press conference on Wednesday (17/2).
"Sammy is back with this new song, more mature and grander," said Jeffrey Djajasaputra, Director of the PRO-M label when asked about the difference between Sammy's version of the song.

Dibalas Dengan Dusta itself is a song created by one of Indonesia's best musicians who has passed away, Glenn Fredly. Not only did Sammy get permission while Glenn was still alive, but he was actually asked directly.
"I covered Glenn Fredly's song again. Because the late Glenn asked me to sing his song. And I do like old school songs. Indonesian people also like soft songs. Whether cooking or sleeping, our people still like to listen to love songs," he continued.

2. Released on February 12
As it turns out, Sammy's version of the song Dibalas Dengan Dusta was completed 3 years ago. However, due to various reasons, Sammy decided to release it near Valentine's Day yesterday.
"It was released on February 12. The timing was because of COVID, many people couldn't get chocolates on Valentine's Day," he concluded.
