As the end of 2024 approaches, Maliq & D'Essentials have recorded various significant achievements, starting from a five-city tour in Indonesia from October to December after releasing their ninth album, Can Machines Fall In Love?. In addition, they also received an award for Best Pop Duo/Group at the 2024 AMI Awards, as well as their single Kita Bikin Romantis, which managed to reach TikTok #1 Song Indonesia 2024.

As this year comes to a close, Maliq & D'Essentials released an unplugged version of the song Senja Teduh Pelita. This single is presented to bring listeners back to the beautiful moment in November 2023, when they performed on the C-Stage with Coldplay during the Music of the Spheres World Tour 2023 at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta.

Widi Puradiredja, a member of Maliq & D'Essentials, revealed that they wanted to commemorate that historic moment. Initially, the plan was to release the unplugged version coinciding with the concert on November 15, 2024.
"We want to remember that moment and the initial plan was to release it coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the concert on November 15, 2024. At that time, Maliq performed unplugged at Coldplay without drums, very minimalistic. We eventually re-recorded it in the studio," said Widi.

Widi explained that this song is called unplugged because during the heyday of Maliq, the unplugged concept was one of the coolest things.
"If now it’s more familiar with acoustic version. Back in the MTV era, unplugged was one of the coolest shows. So, we are reminiscing about that moment and there is a plan for Maliq to create unplugged versions of other songs." he said. By releasing this version, they want to reminisce about that moment.
"We’ll see what happens next,” Widi added.
He mentioned that there are plans to create unplugged versions of other Maliq songs in the future. However, Widi could not confirm which song from Maliq & D'Essentials will be rearranged into an unplugged version.
