Background

Following the success of their debut album Bersama (2003), Ratu began recording a new material for their second album, originally scheduled for a 2004 release. [1] However, its original lead singer, Pinkan Mambo decided to leave the band in October 2004. [2] As the band finally chose Mulan Kwok as the new vocalist, they released Ratu & Friends beforehand in 2005, before resume working on their second album. [3]

Like their first album, most of the songs in the album were written by Maia. [4] Dhani composed and wrote three songs, while Mulan helped write the song "Seribu Cinta" ("A Thousand Loves"). No. Satu also involved musicians such as Yoyo Padi, Denny Chasmala, Tepi Item, and Bintang. [3] [5] [6]

No. Satu was released on 22 May 2006. "Lelaki Buaya Darat" ("Womanizer" [a] ) and "Dear Diary" were released as singles and later made into music videos. The album was sold more than 200,000 copies upon its release, a record for a work by a female Indonesian music group. [3] "Lelaki Buaya Darat" was banned in Malaysia due to its perceived negative connotations. The band tried to change the song's title, but this was unsuccessful. However, some radio stations in Malaysia still played the song. [7] The album would be the last to be recorded and released by Ratu before they disbanded a year later. [8]
