"Jaga Dia Untukku" on YouTube

First performed during her 2014 Dato' Siti Nurhaliza Live in Concert – Where the Heart is, the song revolves around her feelings when she learned that her husband was involved in a motorcycle accident in New Zealand in December 2012. The song was officially released on iTunes on 4 May 2014.[1][2]

This song also used as the theme song for the Malaysian television drama series, Rindu Awak 200% aired on TV3.[3]

Background and recording
"The emotion in this song is easy [for me] to express since I personally have gone through it. But I try to sing and translate [the song] with my own way. There are no scenes [in it] that show I am actually crying, in contrast it shows my fortitude in facing the difficulty."

—Siti Nurhaliza on recording "Jaga Dia Untukku"[4][lower-alpha 1]

The song was recorded in January 2014,[5] in which it was inspired by her feelings when she learned her husband was involved in a motorcycle accident in December 2012.[4] Much like other songs from Fragmen in which they describe the glimpses on her life,[6] "Jaga Dia Untukku" is said by Siti to "translate all my feelings and those who were involved in it".[lower-alpha 2][6] Both composer (Aubrey Suwito) and the lyricist of "Jaga Dia Untukku", Rozisangdewi (Rozi Abdul Razak) were with her when the incident happened.[6]

Composition and lyrics

At three minutes and twenty three seconds,[7] "Jaga Dia Untukku" is a song with a moderately fast tempo. Written by Rozisangdewi, the song is composed by Aubrey Suwito. The lyric of the song is all inspired by her experiences in dealing with the news of the incident and her worries when taking care of him. According to Zaidi Mohamad of Berita Harian, its lyric, "portrays the sadness and the pain that appears to be close to Siti in reminiscing how she dealt with the trying moments when her husband was involved in a road accident around late December of 2012 in New Zealand".[lower-alpha 3][4]

Release and promotion

The song was first performed during her 2014 two-day fundraising concert, Dato' Siti Nurhaliza Live in Concert – Where the Heart is at Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Center on 8 and 9 February.[8] For radio releases, Hot FM was the first radio station in Malaysia to broadcast the exclusive premiere for Malaysian listeners on 2 May.[9][10]

Explanatory notes
  1. Original:"Emosi dalam lagu ini mudah ditonjolkan apatah lagi Siti sendiri melaluinya. Tapi Siti cuba alun dan terjemahkan dengan cara Siti. Tapi tiada babak yang menampakkan Siti seperti menangis, sebaliknya menampakkan sisi tabah saat berdepan kesukaran itu."
  2. Original:"...menterjemahkan segala perasaan Siti alami dan orang yang menghasilkannya."
  3. Original:"...menggambarkan kedukaan dan penderitaan jiwa dilihat cukup dekat dengan Siti saat mengenang kembali bagaimana beliau berdepan suasana duka apabila suaminya terbabit dalam kemalangan jalan raya sekitar hujung tahun 2012 di New Zealand."
