This Indonesian pop recording features Lesti, who previously released the singles “Egois” and “Buka Mata Hati.” “Mati Gaya” is Lesti’s fifth single. The song was originally composed by Mhala and Inu Numata for another pop singer signed to Trinity Optima Production, but the lyrics did not suit that artist’s album. The label offered the song to Lesti, and its modern pop sensibility was deemed a good fit for her voice. The recording process was challenging, requiring three vocal takes to achieve the desired result. Arranged by Marcel Aulia, the music incorporates modern beats while retaining a distinct dangdut feel, complementing Lesti’s characteristic vocal style.
