Of the nine works presented, Ku Unable to song became the main song. Stevan said the song was made based on his personal story.

"I can't afford to have a toxic relationship anymore, where I can no longer survive with an unhealthy relationship, and have given up on my partner. I made this song open in this album, because this is the hurtest love experience I've ever had, and I feel that the pain from the heart must reach the listeners' hearts too," said Stevan Pasaribu.
