Indonesian artist Tuan Jenggo presents his latest single, In This Economy, released on November 13, 2026.
The track explores the daily struggles of the working class as they try to support their families.
They face rising living costs, uncertain incomes, and increasing financial pressures.
Inspired by the increasingly difficult living conditions faced by Indonesia’s working class, the song reflects realities that many people experience every day.
Workers often receive salaries that barely cover their needs, while irregular earnings and financial obligations force them to seek additional sources of income.
In many cases, they sacrifice their rest time and moments with family just to make ends meet.
According to BPS data cited in the discussion surrounding the song, 52.81% of workers receive wages below the minimum wage.
This figure highlights the challenges faced by many people who are no longer simply pursuing a decent standard of living, but are struggling to survive.

Tuan Jenggo Captures the Reality of Working-Class Life
One of the song’s central lines, “OHH GAJIKU MENGHILANG, TEPAT SETELAH KUPEGANG”, captures the harsh reality of everyday financial struggles.
People often spend their entire paycheck on essential needs and financial obligations as soon as they receive it.
Often, there is barely anything left to put into savings.
Interestingly, Tuan Jenggo completed the song’s composition and lyrics in just two days before moving on to the production process.
Through In This Economy, he highlights the exhaustion and pressure workers face.
The song also reflects their determination to keep moving forward despite difficult circumstances.
The song delivers a straightforward message: life must go on even when a salary is not enough.
Giving up is not an option when there is a family depending on you.
In This Economy is available starting November 13, 2026. Don’t forget to stream it in your favorite DSP.
