The song, inspired by the singer's dessert business, aims to retort to her ex-husband's disparaging comments on social media. The 30-year-old actress, sister of Syatilla Melvin, had a seven-year marriage with her ex, Mohamad Syafiq Azim, which ended on August 12. The couple, who have three children aged one to seven, share a tumultuous history, with Syida alleging that Syafiq failed to fulfill his financial obligations during her iddah period.",
