JAKARTA Singer and songwriter Jewel Xu has officially released his latest single entitled Home Apa Adanya, a work that voices the emotional side of a child who longs for unconditional acceptance and love from his family. Released right on National Children's Day, this song is a deep reflection of the meaning of home and warmth that should be present in it.
Rumah Apa Adanya was written by Jewel Xu as the outpouring of the most fragile space he had kept himself. But in the process, he realized that this song represented many silent voices outside the children who grew up with deep wounds.
"I wrote this song with an open heart. This song is not only about me, but about many children who have never felt insufficiently loved in their own family," said Jewel Xu. I deliberately released it on National Children's Day, because this song talks about the most basic needs of a child: seen, heard, and loved as it is.
The production process for this song began in early 2025 and involved two well-known producers, Danny I. Candra and Stanly Bachtian. All piano, vocal, and string arrangements were recorded live at Badminton & Co. Studios, without MIDI or digital manipulation. This decision was taken as a form of respect for the emotional honesty in the song.
Stanly Bachtian also composed the string arrangement and directed the players directly, namely:
