According to Cecil, the song Djakarta went viral because it was able to represent the feelings of many people, especially Jakarta residents who often struggle to express their emotions. This song became a means for them to express their suppressed feelings.

"Many people cannot express their feelings, some hold back their emotions. With this song, it can represent their feelings. Maybe that's what made the song go viral," he said.

2. Used in Anies Baswedan's Content

The song Djakarta is also widely used as background music in social media. In fact, Anies Baswedan also used this song in one of his uploaded content on Sunday (14/7).

"Wow, this is Mr. Anies, thank you to Mr. Anies for supporting the song Djakarta," said Cecil Yang.

The excitement in Jakarta doesn't stop there. On Monday (15/7), the OOH billboard at Ratu Plaza, Jakarta, displayed this collaboration project. In addition, on Tuesday (16/7), the song 'Djakarta' also managed to enter the 'Lagi Viral' Spotify Playlist.
