After Heaven of Love (2005), featuring the duet, sold 800,000 copies, Gutawa was approached by Sony Music Indonesia with an offer to record a solo album.

The success of that album, the self-titled Gita Gutawa, led to numerous acting and marketing job offers.

She voiced a character for the animated Meraih Mimpi, and made her feature film debut in 2010's Love in Perth.

The duet, titled "Yang Terbaik Bagimu" ("The Best for You"), was included on ADA Band's 2005 album Heaven of Love,[1][4] which sold 800,000 copies.

[8] After the success of the album, Gutawa's previously school-oriented schedule was filled with requests for media appearances and sponsorships.

In 2008, she won the 6th International Nile Children Song Festival in Cairo with Ria Leimena's "To Be One",[2] which she had previously sung on her debut album.

She later assembled a girl band to support her after several performances had to be cancelled due to an inability to find musicians at short notice.

During recording, Gutawa received coaching from an Islamic scholar, or ustad, regarding the correct pronunciation of Arabic lyrics used in some songs.

[12] Gutawa has expressed concern that the public sees her rise to fame as being dependent on her already-famous father; she has stated in an interview with The Jakarta Post that she learned that "nepotism wouldn't work in the music industry".

[3][15] She and her father also wrote a new song for the concert, entitled "Kidung Abadi" ("Eternal Ballad"), which was made by stringing together 246 syllables in Chrisye's voice.

[9] She later received an offer to act in an upcoming sinetron (Indonesian soap opera) entitled Ajari Aku Cinta (Teach Me About Love), which used her song "Bukan Permainan" ("Not a Toy") as its theme.

[20] As one of her first acts, she promised that part of the sales of Harmoni Cinta would be used to send poor Indonesian children to school; every twenty albums sold would be enough for one child.

[1] Juliani Harsianti of The Jakarta Post describes Gutawa as having a "clear voice and fresh style" on the album.
