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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Semasa kecil dulu
Tak lari kemana takdir bicara
Ku harus berjumpa
Bias masa lalu kita dulu
Melintas sekilas dalam benakku
Tubuh kecil berlari bersamaMelintas tepi rumah
Tak terasa kini waktu berlalu
Usia berganti
Perpindahan jaman silih berganti
Membuat kita beda
Sinar pancaran matamu
Pertanda gerangan apakah
Biasa atau luar biasa
Suka aku padamu
Terasa persahabatan kita dulu
Oh mungkinkah akan berlanjut
Atau hanya aku merasa ha ha ha
Merasa ha a a hu u u
Merasa
Sinar pancaran matamu
Pertanda gerangan apakah
Biasa atau luar biasa
Suka aku padamu
Terasa persahabatan kita dulu
Oh mungkinkah akan berlanjut
Atau hanya aku merasa
Dan cara dewasa pun kutempuh
Namun akupun tak tahu
Apakah rasamu kan sama
Atau hanya aku merasa huo u u eh eh eyeh (da da da da da)
Aku merasa huo (da da da da da)
Aku merasa (da da da da da)
In the song "Merasa" by Krisdayanti, the lyrics delve into the bittersweet experience of growing up and drifting apart from someone who was once close. The opening lines reflect on a long period of separation that has occurred, hinting at a nostalgic look back to a simpler time in childhood when the paths of the two individuals were intertwined by fate. The singer acknowledges that they must eventually come face to face once again.
As the lyrics progress, there is a reminiscence of the shared past between the individuals, where fleeting memories of running around as children together outside the edges of a house come to mind. The passage of time is highlighted, noting how age and changing eras have caused a rift between them, leading to a sense of disconnect and difference in their current selves.
The chorus delves into the singer's feelings of uncertainty and longing, as they ponder the significance of the other person's gaze and whether it holds a special meaning or is just a fleeting moment of familiarity. The lyrics express a sense of affection towards the other person, questioning if the bond they shared in the past could potentially be rekindled or if it is merely a one-sided sentiment.
The bridge of the song introduces a more mature perspective, as the singer contemplates taking a grown-up approach in navigating their emotions towards this person. However, there is a sense of doubt and confusion, as they question whether the other person reciprocates these feelings or if it is solely the singer's own perception. The repetition of “huo u u eh eh eyeh” captures the inner turmoil and emotional complexity of the situation, highlighting the internal struggle of trying to decipher their true feelings amid the uncertainty of rekindling a past connection.

Jelang waktu panjang kita berpisah
As time passed, we drifted apart
Semasa kecil dulu
Back in childhood days
Tak lari kemana takdir bicara
Fate never ran away, it spoke
Ku harus berjumpa
I have to meet it
Bias masa lalu kita dulu
Our past bias memories
Melintas sekilas dalam benakku
Pass fleetingly in my mind
Tubuh kecil berlari bersama
Our small bodies ran together
Melintas tepi rumah
Past the side of the house
Tak terasa kini waktu berlalu
Unconsciously time has passed
Usia berganti
Ages change
Perpindahan jaman silih berganti
The changing of times continually
Membuat kita beda
Causing us to become different
Sinar pancaran matamu
The radiance of your eyes

Signifying what
Biasa atau luar biasa
Ordinary or extraordinary
Suka aku padamu
Do I like you
Terasa persahabatan kita dulu

Or is it just me feeling ha ha ha
Merasa ha a a hu u u
Feeling
Dan cara dewasa pun kutempuh
And I'll take on a mature approach
Namun akupun tak tahu
But I myself don't know
Apakah rasamu kan sama
Will your feelings be the same
Atau hanya aku merasa huo u u eh eh eyeh (da da da da da)
Or is it just me feeling huo (da da da da da)
Aku merasa huo (da da da da da)
I feel huo (da da da da da)
Aku merasa (da da da da da)
I feel (da da da da da)
