JAKARTA - Three Indonesian female musicians: Marion Jola, Danilla Riyadi, and Ramengvrl collaborate on a song titled Don't Touch Me.

Interestingly, these three names come from different genres. However, they also joined forces to write the lyrics to the arrangement. As a result, Don't Touch Me became a unique and catchy hit genre song.

This song became their point of view to raise the issue of Don't Touch Me. At a press conference held last Thursday, they revealed the unfair treatment and discrimination that are often experienced as musicians and as a woman.

"Women empowerment can be considered as a way for women to gain recognition and self-awareness of their potential and worth in facing a world full of biased gender confrontations," they said in their statement.

This collaboration was initiated by Marion Jola who idolizes Danilla and Ramengvrl. The invitation was met with hesitation and strangeness from Danilla and Ramengvrl.

The strangeness was felt until the recording process. Marion herself admitted that she almost wanted to go home because she was afraid of the results that were not as expected.

"I listen to (their) songs one by one. From Ramengvrl, me, then Daniel finally. I wanted to go home," said Marion, which Danilla and Ramengvrl agreed.

Even though it felt strange, in the end, they continued to collaborate. This song is a form of anger from the message to be conveyed.

Not only songs, Marion, Danilla, and Ramengvrl presented a music video directed by Anton Ismael. The music video will be released in the middle of this month while the song Don't Touch Me can be listened starting Friday, June 11.
