"The first time I heard a Malaysian guitar player, Russell Curtis was playing the tune of the song, I immediately fell in love with its music arrangement.

To make it more interesting, Yonder Music has managed to gather great Malaysian and Indonesian artists to sing the new version of "Kau Ilhamku" together."

[3] 20 years later, in September 2015, Man Bai was contacted by Yonder Music, which showed interest in rerecording the song, albeit in a rearranged manner.

[2] On the news of rerecording the song, Man Bai commented, "Around two months ago, I was contacted by them [Yonder Music] who appeared interested in reworking "Kau Ilhamku".

[8] Originally written in Bahasa Malaysia, the reworked song ended up being four minutes and fifty two seconds long, with its genre holding the middle between pop and R&B.

[9] The reviewer commented, "Having top singers singing a hit song in a collaborative effort is a plus point, but on the other hand, breaking it down with a bridge in English and rap, may have just taken away the sweet and simple sound of an already beautiful tune.

It was followed by Yuna, Cita Citata, Afgansyah Reza, Elizabeth Tan, Siti Nurhaliza, Ariel Noah, Natasha Ines, Jaclyn Victor, Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, and Russell Curtis.

[15][9] The new version of "Kau Ilhamku" was first performed live during the press conference and launch of Yonder Music mobile app in Malaysia on 19 November 2015 at The Garage KL in Ulu Klang.
