First performed during Siti's 2014 "Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Singapore" concert on 14 April, the song revolves around the feeling of a wife who is striving to be the best for her husband but still feels it is not enough. The song was officially released as a single on 15 October 2014 in conjunction with her promotion of Fragmen in Indonesia.

Background and recording

"The song is catchy, fresh and not too hard to understand. The lyrics for this song is a story about a wife's sacrifices. Taken from my own experience. I want the song to be able to be an inspiration to women anywhere. That we should give our best, no limits. If I can, so should other women."
