Bingkai Karya – Singer, songwriter, and multi-talented performer Sheryl Sheinafia returns with her latest release, “Lepas Kendali (Out of Control)“. The song reflects a sense of freedom, trust, and the courage to fully enjoy the moment without overthinking the outcome, celebrating life in every step.
Following her success with various hits and collaborations with Indonesian artists such as Petra Sihombing, Refo, Fauna, and Salma Salsabil, Sheryl now explores a deeper level of musicality and songwriting in “Lepas Kendali”. Co-written and produced by Sheryl and Petra Sihombing, the track was created through a relaxed and enjoyable process, perfectly aligning with the message Sheryl hopes to convey to her listeners.
“‘Lepas Kendali’ isn’t just a song about two people learning to trust each other it’s also about the journey,” Sheryl explains. “It’s about that feeling of freedom, like when you’re on the road, running, or doing something that gets your adrenaline pumping. That’s the moment when you let go and truly enjoy the process.”
With clean 80s pop tones, straightforward yet cheerful lyrics, and her signature upbeat acoustic guitar rhythm, “Lepas Kendali” creates a light and positive atmosphere for listeners. The song perfectly expresses freedom and spontaneity, evoking the sensation of running freely through the city while laughing with friends.
“My hope is that when people listen to this song, they can feel that emotion whether they’re exercising, on a road trip, or singing along with friends who make them happy. ‘Lepas Kendali’ is about fully being in the moment, free and unrestrained with the people who make you feel alive,” Sheryl adds.
