The track exposes a more vulnerable side to fans that they may not have seen—showing Rayi to be a family man and a romantic. When asked about the inspiration behind the song, he shared, “Not many people know this side of me — the romantic, intimate part of how I build a relationship with my wife, how I’ve become a family person. It’s all in this song.”
Much like the title suggests, 'Istriku' is a track written for and about his wife. It reflects on personal moments and fond memories the two have created and captures their dream of a loving, harmonious, and supportive romantic relationship—drawing inspiration from special moments between them that many might regard as "couple goals".
The stripped-back slow hip-hop tone of the song paired with the meaningful vocals perfectly aligns with Rayi Putra's signature style of music—giving the track an even greater personal touch through Rayi being his authentic self. “This is how I’ve lived my relationship. The deepest aspects of life with my wife — the couple goals we aim for until death do us part,” Rayi muses.
The music video also echoes this sentiment that is deeply rooted in his heart—featuring scenes where Rayi sings directly to her, and flickers of clips include nostalgic footage of their moments together, from their wedding to holiday getaways, creating a time capsule of their memories that are forever eternalised through the video.
“Through this song, I want to give my utmost appreciation to my wife, who has stood by me and supported me since our high school days. She’s been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my toughest critic. Without her, I might not have achieved what I have today. Her presence has made me a better person,” Rayi expresses.
Both the song and the music video that accompanies 'Istriku' paint a beautiful picture of Rayi's love for his wife—with his emotions really shining through the lyrics and visuals of the video.
