According to Siti, "What is special about this Eid al-Fitr song is that we unanimously agree that [we] do not want to incorporate cliché lines like [those that are about] [[ketupat]], [[lemang]], foods, visiting [others], etc., but the lyrics will be heavier but still suitable with the Eid al-Fitr mood".<ref name="HK - MS"/>{{efn|Original:"''Istimewanya lagu raya kali ini, kami sepakat tidak lagi mahu gunakan bait-bait klise seperti ketupat lemang, juadah, bertandang dan sebagainya tetapi liriknya lebih berat namun masih sesuai untuk suasana hari raya.''"}} She also added that "The lyrics of the song are touching the meaning of Eid al-Fitr according to its context in Islam.
