Tohpati brings Ingin Kumiliki back into the spotlight in 2026, reworking the beloved 1999 hit that Ruth Sahanaya once made iconic.
Back then, the song resonated deeply with listeners and became an emotional anthem for many.
Now, 27 years later, Tohpati introduces a refreshed version, collaborating with Meiska on vocals.
The track will also appear on Tohpati’s upcoming album project.
This new release highlights a strong emotional tone while presenting a more modern and polished arrangement.
Tohpati reshapes the song with a fresh perspective, yet he carefully preserves its original essence.
He has indicated that a song should not remain tied to its era. Instead, it should continue its journey through new voices and audiences.
For Meiska, the project carries a personal connection. She has known the song for years, which made the experience both exciting and challenging.
She feels a deep connection to the melody. It has stayed with her for a long time and feels familiar in a personal way.

However, she also understands the weight that comes with it.
The song already holds a special place in many listeners’ hearts, and that brings a sense of responsibility when performing it.
Tohpati directly produced the track, making the process more meaningful for both artists.
Since they had worked together before, they quickly rebuilt their chemistry in the studio.
This connection helped create a comfortable recording environment and allowed the song to develop naturally.
Through this release, Meiska hopes the new version of Ingin Kumiliki can reach listeners across generations and remain relevant in today’s music landscape.
Meanwhile, Tohpati continues to prepare additional releases as part of his upcoming album.
The single is now available on digital streaming platforms across Indonesia, offering both nostalgia and a renewed emotional experience.
