RoBoKop (Rombongan Bodonk Koplo), one of Indonesia’s leading Hipdut groups, have released a new single titled “Benci Kangen Kamu.”
The song explores a familiar emotion that many people experience but rarely admit: hating someone while still missing them.
Inspired by everyday experiences, the song tells the story of someone who falls deeply in love.
They later discover that the person they admire is already in a relationship.
Whether it is someone else’s boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, the situation creates a difficult emotional conflict between resentment and longing.
The group said they drew the story from everyday experiences because that is what makes the song relatable.
According to RoBoKop, many people have experienced the feeling of hating someone while still missing them.
