About this Song
Vidi Aldiano, the Indonesian pop artist behind the tender track Dara, first began creating music centered on his now-wife Sheila Dara Aisha years before they exchanged wedding vows, with 2018’s “Tak Sejalan” marking his first track written for her, a project that predated the lifelong commitment they would build together. Long after that first release, Vidi returned to writing for Sheila, channeling entirely new conditions and feelings that come with building a future with a partner, rather than the dynamic that shaped his earlier work, to craft Dara, a track that reframes the traditional wedding vow as a lyrical love letter. Unlike most couples who share their formal marriage promises during a proposal or wedding akad, Vidi turned to his craft as a musician to wrap his own vows into the fabric of Dara, a track that draws its name directly from Sheila’s middle name, turning a private promise into a piece of art that could resonate far beyond his own relationship.
