It features Iis Sugianto, Sys NS, Chrisye, and Lydia Kandou in a story about a singer working to support her family.
[1] Pop singer Chrisye, who had previously had a cameo in 1979's Gita Cinta dari SMA (Love Song at High School) but otherwise never had a role in a film, was convinced to participate by his friend Sys NS; Sys NS asked him "when is the next time you will feel what it is like to date a movie star?"
It featured Iis Sugianto and Chrisye, a pair which Denny Sakrie – a reporter with Rolling Stone Indonesia – described as being polar opposites in their musical style.
The songs were written by Rinto Harahap and Chrisye, after Jockie Soerjoprajogo left the project because of creative differences.
[3] Akmal Nasery Basral, writing in Tempo magazine twenty years afterwards, called Chrisye's vocals less "whiny" then Sugianto's.
