Inspiration From the Folk Song “Cak Cekur Udang Gamit”
“Cak Cak Cekuk” takes inspiration from folk songs that mothers or grandmothers used to sing to their little children, then gives it a fresh and modern twist.

"When I got the opportunity to record a song with an element of advice, I was really excited. I think it’s important for us as a new generation to bring back elements of our own culture, but in a way that suits the present day,” Wani explained enthusiastically.

This song depicts the reality faced by many young couples today, namely the desire to start a family but limited by financial circumstances. The message conveyed is not just entertainment, but also a form of understanding and support for young people who are planning their future together.

With an energetic musical arrangement and simple lyrics, “Cak Cak Cekuk” brings a cheerful but fulfilling aura. This song is not only for entertainment, but can also be an injector of enthusiasm for those who are preparing for marriage.

“We’ve all felt it was hard to achieve our dreams, but don’t give up. I myself had many challenges when I was about to start my art career, but we have to go slowly, don’t stop. Like the verse of this song, ‘Slowly row until you reach the end’ – that’s the spirit I want to share through this song,” added Wani.
