"Bittersweet with a tinge of nostalgia, the song captures the yearning for our childhood, accompanied by our intimate harmonies," The Impatient Sisters told SAYS.
Mixed and mastered by renowned Indonesian music producer Ari Renaldi, who also produces for artistes like Tulus and Yura Yunita, the song signifies the growth for the band as they journey forward into the next chapter of their lives.

The music video is directed by Metakaji, revolving around the concept of capturing the essence of longing and intimate moments through an hourglass
The dreamlike element and haziness of the music video for Rumah definitely shows how 'hazy' and dreamy our childhood can seem once we grow up. Centering around the hourglass, the band shows that time is fleeting and moments in our lives will turn into treasured memories.
