Addila, a musician from Gresik, opens 2026 with the release of his latest single, “Pilihan Terbalik.” An emotional ballad that explores emotional maturity in decision-making—when honesty is not always the safest path, and silence is chosen to protect someone else’s feelings.

Produced by Eko Kus Saputra, “Pilihan Terbalik” is released as a standalone single, placing raw emotion at the center of its narrative. The song captures the moment of realization that not every truth needs to be spoken. Smiles become a mask, small lies are chosen, and personal feelings are sacrificed to prevent deeper wounds.

“Pilihan Terbalik” was born from the awareness that giving in and pretending to be okay can sometimes be the most mature form of love. This song is not about winning—it is about quiet decisions that are often made without applause.

Lyrically, the emotional core of the song lies in the repeated lines “Berbohong, ku berbohong” and “Ku tersenyum, kau tersenyum”. These lines embody the inner conflict, suppressed pain, and unspoken empathy that quietly grow within the same emotional space.

The production process was handled with an intimate and focused approach. Songwriting, arrangement, mixing, and mastering were fully handled by Eko Kus Saputra, while vocal recordings took place at Sixties Studio. The minimalist ballad arrangement allows Addila’s vocals to carry the emotional weight without distraction.

The visual elements supporting “Pilihan Terbalik” further reinforce the song’s message. The artwork photo, created by @HIDK, represents happiness that is shown rather than truly felt—a symbol of a mature choice to protect others, even if it means lying to oneself.

Through this release, Addila hopes listeners will feel connected and understood. Not an explosive sadness, but a quiet ache—empathy, relief, and emotional maturity that comes from accepting that not every wound needs to be exposed.

“Pilihan Terbalik” reflects Addila’s musical direction moving forward: deeply personal, emotionally honest works that resonate with the realities of human relationships.

The single “Pilihan Terbalik” was officially released on January 1, 2026, and is now available on all major digital streaming platforms.
