Production

After released her five albums [a] albums with Pony Canyon, Amy Mastura decided to not renew her contract with her former record label upon the expiration of her recording contract in December 1997. She then signed a contract with Sony Music in 1998 and began working on what was to become Bintang Hati in 1999.

Prior to the album's release, Amy released the single "Dengarkanlah" featuring the late Indonesian singer Glenn Fredly. Released in October 1999 in Indonesia and in November 1999 in her native Malaysia, the song were initially intended to be part of the album, but did not make the final cut. [3] Recording of Bintang Hati was done in seven months at two different recording studios, namely Bumble Bee Studios and KRU Studios, while the mixing process was done at the Synchrosound Studios. The album was mixed by Greg Henderson and mastered by Faisal Ghazali.

Songwriting was primarily handled by Goh Boon Hoe (also known as Boon Tan), who composed four songs including the title track, while Amran Omar and Salina Hadi wrote lyrics for majority of the songs. Malaysian boy band, KRU composed and wrote "Tekanan Jiwa". Backing vocals were provided by singers by Lynn Ali, Sharizan Borhan and Shawn Baharin as well as Amy Mastura herself. In the album, there's a song called "Sha Na Na", where she received her second songwriting credit after "Puteri", taken from her 1997 album of the same name.

Bintang Hati was released on 31 January 2000 to popular success. The first single to be released for the album was "Sha Na Na".
