During her high-school days, she participated in many singing competitions and modelling pageants. In 1991, she became a finalist in Gadis Sampul, a cover girl contest. It was also during that period she met James Sundah and recorded two songs for him. With that, she began to receive many invitations to sing and model.
It was Youngki Suwarno who brought Krisdayanti to an Asia Bagus audition. There, she felt inferior because of her appearance. The other contestants were decked in glittering show dresses whereas she was simply dressed in jeans and T-shirt.
After her winning, she became a star instantly. With eight albums to her credit and a few singles, she has reached superstardom.
She married Anang Hermansyah, Indonesian famous song writer, singer and producer, in 1996. They had two kids together, a daughter, Titania Aurelia Hermansyah, and a son, Azriel Hermansyah. The couple filed for divorce in 2009.

Krisdayanti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Terasa hampa di hatiku
Gairahku seakan membeku
Terbelenggu rindu dirimu
Ku ingin s'lalu dirimu ada di dekatku, kasih
Ku ingin seg'ra akhiri perjalanan panjang ini
Di saat ku jauh darimu
Meronta cemburu hatiku
Gelisahku seakan tak menentu
Kar'na takut kehilanganmu
Ku ingin s'lalu dirimu ada di dekatku, kasih
Ee-hey-yeay
Ku ingin seg'ra akhiri perjalanan panjang ini
(Ee-hey-yeay)
Ku ingin s'lalu dirimu ada di dekatku, kasih
Ee-hey-yeay
Ku ingin seg'ra akhiri perjalanan panjang ini
(Ee-hey-yeay)
Terasa tersiksa di hatiku
Waktu terpisah dari dirimu
Ku ingin s'lalu dirimu ada di dekatku, kasih
Hey-yeay-yeay

In Krisdayanti's song "Ku Ingin Selalu," the singer expresses her longing for her lover's presence. She feels empty and her passion seems to have frozen when she is far away from him. She is shackled by her longing for him, and she wants him to always be close to her. She is jealous when she is away from him, and her anxiety is restless and uncertain because she is afraid of losing him. She wants to end this journey, which seems to be too long without him, and she wants to be by his side forever.
The song's lyrics reflect the emotions and feeling of a person who is in love and misses their significant other. Whenever the person is far away from their beloved, they long to be close to them. Their happiness and contentment lie in the presence of their partner. The jealousy and anxiety the person feels when they are apart reflect the fear of losing someone they love. The desire to end the long journey without their partner shows the urgency of being with the one they love.
