"Aku Stacy" (translation: I Am Stacy) was the coronation song and the debut single for the winner of the sixth season of Akademi Fantasia , Stacy.

Contents

Background

Initially, the song was given the title "Aku Cinderella" but it was later changed to "Aku Stacy". It refers to someone who is physically and emotionally hurt by her opportunist lover. Regardless of her attempts to end the relationship, it all becomes futile. In the end, she realises that in order to be free, she has to stand strong and face her deepest fear, which is to sacrifice her feelings and love towards her lover, in order to "conquer" him.

Stacy performed the song during the final concert of Akademi Fantasia before she was crowned as the winner of the season. The day after her win, the song was released as a single in Era FM.

Song structure

The lyrics of the studio version are slightly altered; in the second verse, Stacy sings, "ingin mengaut apa saja yang ada/namun aku penghalang", whereas in the original live recording, she sings, "aku yang berlagak bagai raja di istana/jadikan ku sang abdi".

Music video

The music video focuses on Stacy, singing and dancing against a plain white background which lacks a set with four male backup dancers. This creates an element that emphasises solely on the complex choreography.

The choreography continues until the end of the video, before it shows the backup dancers applauding, and Stacy turning back comically to them in a humorous way.
