Market Impact
In an interview, the singer said her involvement in writing the lyrics marks the start of a deliberate effort to master the craft, despite acknowledging that writing is not her strongest skill. “This is actually the beginning for me to learn,” she said. “I’ve never been good at writing lyrics, but when the composers I work with asked me to try, I took the challenge.”
Wani, whose full name is Syazwani Abdullah, has contributed to lyrics before, including the power-ballad track “Biarkan” on her 2020 album W2K. For “Pulang,” she said, she wanted to deepen her involvement in the creative process. “I was involved in writing ‘Pulang,’ too,” she said.
She described her participation in the new song as a deliberate step toward eventually writing full lyrics on her own or collaborating with other composers. “If ‘Pulang’ is well received, insha-Allah, I can write full lyrics next time or work with other composers,” she said. “So, it’s a good start for me.”
Wani also expressed hope that listeners will accept and appreciate the new single. “I hope everyone appreciates and accepts every work I release,” she said.
The music video for “Pulang” has already surpassed 100,000 streams on YouTube and has drawn praise from fans who describe Wani’s appearance in the video as resembling a fantasy-world princess. One comment said, “After watching this MV, I’m petitioning KRU to make another Magika-style movie—we finally have a heroine!”
Another fan wrote, “Wani fits songs like this perfectly. Please release more songs in this genre—we haven’t had this vibe for a long time.” A third said, “She has a non-threatening eerie vibe, like a beautiful princess from the fairy kingdom with her attendants. Keep up the great art, Wani.”
