“His advice came before his passing, and that is why I decided to produce it (the song) because it represents our state and the beauty of its people,” he said.

Meanwhile, “Memories” was inspired by the time people spent their Hari Raya away from their families.

“From the lyrics itself, you can understand that it is about spending Hari Raya alone away from your families, all by yourself.

“I think those who will listen to the song, you will feel sad by it, as it is also a song about the struggles of our parents, working hard for their children to live a better life,” he said.

Ghafar hopes that people will love his two new songs, which is slated to be released soon.
