It was her 17th studio album and her 16th Malay-language album, released physically on 30 June 2014 by Universal Music Malaysia and her own Siti Nurhaliza Productions. [1] Most of the songs in the album is inspired by her life and experiences. The production of the album saw a collaboration between Malaysian and Indonesian composers, lyricists and producers.
Fragmen has spawned four singles for the Malaysian market, "Lebih Indah" ("More Meaningful"), "Jaga Dia Untukku" ("Take Care of Him for Me"), "Terbaik Bagimu" ("The Best for You") and "Seluruh Cinta" ("All of Love"). In 2014, "Lebih Indah" received two nominations from 2014 World Music Awards in the category of World's Best Song and World's Best Music Video. In the same year, on 17 October, "Lebih Indah" also enabled Siti to win Best Artist (Female) and Best Song (Malaysia) awards from 2014 Anugerah Planet Muzik. Four days later, on 21 October, Fragmen and its singles were nominated in six different categories for 2014 Anugerah Industri Muzik. On 6 December, "Lebih Indah" and Fragmen also enabled Siti to win the Best Vocal Performance in a Song (Female) and Best Album from the 2014 Anugerah Industri Muzik.

On 21 October 2014, Fragmen was officially launched in Indonesia. Additional track, a duet with Cakra Khan, "Seluruh Cinta" was released as Fragmen's first single for the Indonesian market on the same day.
As of 27 August 2014, the album has been certified Platinum after it has been shipped for more than 10 000 copies. Less than three months later, Fragmen is estimated to be sold around 50 000 copies.
Fragmen is Siti's debut album through the collaboration of her own record company, Siti Nurhaliza Productions with Universal Music Malaysia since July 2011. [4] The production of the album took place in October 2012 with the release of "Galau" ("Perplexed") on 11 January 2013. [5] Though it was released digitally in January 2013, "Galau" was first performed during Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Kuantan 2012 concert in November 2012. [6] However, when Fragmen was officially slated for release on 30 June 2014, [7] "Galau" was dropped from the final track list. According to her management, the release of "Galau" was only intended as a promotional single to introduce the collaboration effort between Siti Nurhaliza Productions and Universal Music Group (Malaysia) to the public and not suitable for inclusion due to the differences of musical direction. [8]
On 15 May, [9] the first official single of the album, "Lebih Indah" was performed during the taping of her 90-minute special television program for Eid al-Fitr with TV2, Konsert Sanggar Lebaran Dato' Siti Nurhaliza. [10] The show was aired much later, on 8 August. [11] Recorded in 2013, the song is said to reflect the state of her emotions when she has to take care of her husband who was involved in a motorcycle accident in New Zealand in December 2012. [12]
"The process of gathering songs took [us] three months. I received roughly about 40 songs. After all songs were evaluated with me, Universal Music and Siti Nurhaliza Productions itself, nine songs were chosen to be included into 'Fragmen'."

In July, Universal Music Malaysia's A&R Director, Mujahid Abd Wahab revealed that the overall cost production that Universal has spent for this album reached almost RM 200 000. [14] According to Mujahid, "The collaboration between Universal Music Malaysia and Siti is not only viewed from the sole perspective of profit only, in contrast, it is more than that. Universal Music Malaysia is willing to spend a large amount of expenditure for the creation of Siti's newest album since she is the country's asset. As the best singer, it is fitting that the album also matches her status." [lower-alpha 2] [15] The RM 200 000 is said to only cover the production cost of the album alone. [16]
In the process of the creation of the album, the album saw a collaboration of musicians, composers and technicians from multiple countries. The mastering of the album was done by Sterling Sound Studio in New York City. [16] Ade Govinda, music composer from Indonesia who contributed "Terbaik Bagimu" is also one of the producers for the album. [17]
Out of nine songs that are included in the album, three of them ("Mula dan Akhir", "Sanubari" and "Membunuh Benci") [17] [note 2] are chosen from her collaboration with "Bengkel Cipta Ekspres Badan Pelindung Hakcipta Karyawan Malaysia" (Music Author's Copyright Protection (MACP) Xpress Creation Workshop) on 25 April 2013. [13] During the workshop, 10 music composers and 10 lyricists that were chosen were given three days to create 10 songs, before they were presented to Siti for her to evaluate their suitability to be included in her album. [13] This marked her second time collaborating with MACP to find new materials for her album since her last traditional album, Lentera Timur . [13]
Originally intended to be the tenth track for the album, "Seluruh Cinta", a duet with an Indonesia singer, Cakra Khan did not make the final cut of the album. The song which was recorded in three hours on 29 May 2014 at My Music, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia [18] [19] was later revealed by Siti's management to be of a different project, though the possibility of its inclusion was actually considered. [8] The song was finally included for the Indonesian version of Fragmen when it was officially launched and released on 21 October 2014. [20]
Shot by Bustamam Mokhtar, [23] the album cover portrays Siti in a black ensemble. Siti explained on her choice of the black ensemble as, "Apart from the result of our discussion with the involved party in the creation of the album cover, I chose black because it is my favourite colour and it is perfect with the concept of elegance that I wanted." [lower-alpha 3] [3] The album also marked her first cover album with her wearing a hijab. [22] She explained, "This is my first album that portrays me in a hijab. Even with hijab, I still want uniqueness and in the same time the image that is being shown is suitable with the element of pop that is present in the album. Therefore, I intentionally chose black for the dress because black looks elegant." [lower-alpha 4] [22]
Chosen by Rozi Abdul Razak, [22] according to Siti, the album title is said "to picture a fragment of [my] life's tales, stories and experiences every day". [lower-alpha 5] [3]
