SB19 and Indonesian singer Aruma are joining forces for a Bahasa version of "MAPA!"

On Instagram, Aruma confirmed the collaboration with photos of her at the recording studio and a printout of the lyrics.

"The song MaPa has touched so many hearts in the Philippines, and now I have the chance to rewrite it and sing it in Bahasa Indonesia," she said in Bahasa Indonesia, as translated in English.

"This song is for Ma. For Pa. For the hugs that are always a place to come home to, thank you SB19,
and thank you to all the MaPa in this world."

"Mapa" is one of the tracks in SB19's 2021 EP, "Pagsibol." An anthem for parents, it has been played in graduation ceremonies and was used in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 film "And the Breadwinner Is..."

SB19 is composed of Pablo, Stell, Ken, Josh, and Justin. The group is fresh from their two-night concert at the Philippine Arena to kickoff their Simula at Wakas world tour.

Meanwhile, Aruma is a rising pop-folk artist in Indonesia. Her popular songs include "Muak" and "Ekspektasi."
