Bingkai Karya — After debuting with the single “Nanti”, Nakei returns to greet listeners with her latest work, “Setengah Hadir”. This song is Nakei’s second single and showcases a more mature musical style and narrative.
“Setengah Hadir” tells the story of someone enduring a relationship without certainty. It’s a situation many have likely experienced: when someone comes along, offering hope, but never truly providing clarity.
Written and produced by Nuki Nares, the song is delivered in a warm and emotional pop style. Through her honest and soulful vocals, Nakei conveys the anxiety of someone tired of waiting for certainty.
“Almost tired of guessing your feelings, sometimes there, sometimes gone, but you never let me go…”
Through these lyrics, “Setengah Hadir” depicts the feelings that often arise in a situationship, when someone continues to hope, while the relationship they’re in never has a clear direction.
For Nakei, this song isn’t just about love, but also about the courage to choose yourself when a relationship no longer provides peace.
“I hope this song resonates with and comforts many people who might be in a similar situation. Honestly, I’m quite nervous because this song feels different from my previous singles, but I hope it reaches the hearts of listeners,” said Nakei.
Through “Setengah Hadir”, Nakei wants to remind people that sometimes letting go isn’t a sign of defeat, but rather a step towards self-respect.
Nakei’s latest single, “Setengah Hadir”, is now available on all digital music platforms, with the lyrics and visualizer available on YouTube.
