Interestingly, the song MARGOY is a work that has been in Shinta's possession for several years. She mentioned that the process of creating this song has become the longest throughout her career as a songwriter.

"Actually, this song has been entrusted to me by the Almighty Creator for quite a long time, about four years ago if I'm not mistaken this song existed, and interestingly it needed to be rearranged several times, it seems this is the song I made with the longest process," Shinta explained.

For the arrangement, Shinta once again entrusted musician Rachmat Ady as in her previous works. Meanwhile, mixing and mastering were handled by Andre Mesa, who has also collaborated with her several times.

"As much as possible, if there is a song of mine that can incorporate elements of tradition, I want to try to include it, even if it's just a little and it could become a characteristic of my music as well. Because our songs can now be accessed by anyone around the world, it can also promote Indonesian traditions," Shinta explained.
