The song For You, Indonesia was created from Bernard's longing for his family in Indonesia during the early days of the pandemic. He had to be separated at that time because he was completing his studies in the United States.

"At that time, I was finishing my final semester in America in the midst of a pandemic situation that was sweeping the world. Being alone in America, the deep loneliness at that time made me long to go home and meet my family. I really wanted this heart to do something, to share feelings, to pray, or anything that could give strength and encourage the hearts of my family and friends in Indonesia. That's when I called Abram Lembono and expressed the idea of ​​creating this song and video, which tells the world's support and concern for the country and nation of Indonesia. The two of us agreed to invite some of our favorite vocalists to join this song project," he explained.
