After the success of his debut single “Mau Tak Mau,” Tsaqib returns with a new track that once again feels relatable to many listeners.
His latest release, titled “Roda Berputar,” dives into a feeling many people know well.
It reflects the awkward moments that come with growing older.
It also shows the exhaustion that builds from repeating the same daily routine.
And beneath it all, it reveals the quiet desperation of nearing the late twenties while watching others find love, yet feeling stuck in place.
He released the song at the end of the year for a reason.
As the year closes, many people feel like their lives are stalling and their resolutions remain unfinished.
This song aims to lift their spirits and remind them that their moment will eventually come.

Tsaqib and The Story of “Roda Berputar”
“Roda Berputar” tells the story of a man who grows insecure as he sees his friends find their partners one by one.
He tries to better himself, changing the way he speaks and even updating his appearance.
Yet he feels like everyone else’s life moves smoothly while his own wheel seems stuck in place.
He remains single, stays full of questions, and still holds on to hope.
“Roda Berputar” carries a wide theme that many listeners can relate to.
It speaks to those moments of insecurity and self-doubt, when we keep comparing ourselves to others and feel left behind.
Yet, as the song unfolds, it leads to a gentle realization that maybe, for now, it’s simply not our time yet.
He added that people often try their best, but sometimes the results haven’t arrived yet.
So all they can do is wait for their turn.
