From Hope to Helplessness: Anggis and Betrand’s “Percuma” Captures Emotional Exhaustion

Bingkai Karya – Returning to top the charts of Indonesian heartbreak anthems, Anggis Devaki and Betrand join forces for the first time in their newest single “Percuma”, released on Friday, June 27, 2025.

True to its title, “Percuma” (which translates to “Useless”), the song tells the story of lost hope in trying to hold on to a relationship that’s become too painful to stay in.

“This feels like a relationship filled only with ego, no one wants to listen anymore,” Betrand explains about the meaning behind the song. “It’s like two people who clearly aren’t aligned anymore but are still being forced to stay together. It’s useless,” adds Anggis.

Lyric excerpt:
Terus memohon
Dan terus mencoba bertahan
Tuk kembalikan
Cinta yang dulu kukenal
Percuma percuma
Aku tak pernah kau
Dengar

Written by Mahalini and Kamga, “Percuma” has quickly become one of the most anticipated releases. The lyrics, capturing the emotional fatigue of a strained relationship, are perfectly supported by music composed by Martinus Tintin, a producer well-known in the Indonesian heartbreak ballad scene.

“We hope Percuma touches your heart and makes it into your list of favorite sad songs!”
