Ruang Baru tells a hopeful story about saying goodbye. Written for the Indonesian film “My Annoying Brother,” the composers wanted to create a song about parting that doesn’t carry a sense of sadness in its tone or message. Its heartfelt lyrics and soothing melody beautifully complement the film's emotional journey, highlighting moments of reconciliation and personal growth.
