First performed during Siti's 2014 "Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Singapore" concert on 14 April, the song revolves around the feeling of a wife who is striving to be the best for her husband but still feels it is not enough. The song was officially released as a single on 15 October 2014 in conjunction with her promotion of Fragmen in Indonesia. The song also served as a theme song on 3 February 2015 for a 14-episode Malay drama, "Nasuha" (Full Repentance), aired on TV9. In March 2015, it was also chosen as a theme song for a Malay telemovie, "Talak" (Divorce), on TV3.

On 5 September 2014, "Terbaik Bagimu" was nominated for the 2014 Anugerah Planet Muzik for the category of Best Collaboration (Song) in Singapore. Although no official music video was released, a lyric video was officially released on 4 May 2015.

Background and recording

"The song is catchy, fresh and not too hard to understand. The lyrics for this song is a story about a wife's sacrifices. Taken from my own experience. I want the song to be able to be an inspiration to women anywhere. That we should give our best, no limits. If I can, so should other women."

—Siti Nurhaliza on recording "Terbaik Bagimu"[1][lower-alpha 1]

During the creation of Fragmen, Siti received a song offer from Universal Music Malaysia which she later accepted.[2] According to Siti, "I received Ade's song from Universal Music Malaysia. I instantly wanted that song, because it is easy to listen to and to touch [my] feelings. 'Terbaik Bagimu' tells a story of how a wife who is giving the best [of her] to the husband but still feeling it is lacking".[2][lower-alpha 2]

She also revealed that the original title, "Masih Kurang" (Insufficient), and certain parts of the lyrics were altered to deliver more positive connotations.[3] She asked Ade's permission to alter a few elements of the lyrics and rename the song prior to recording it.[3]

Composition and lyrics

A slow tempo song, "Terbaik Bagimu" lasts four minutes and ten seconds.[4] Written by Ade Govinda and composed by Ade and Jeje Govinda,[4] the lyrics tell a story of how a wife feels that something is amiss even while she is trying to be the best for her husband.[5]
