The song, released in 2018, is part of “The King’s Music Room”, which debuted yesterday on Apple Music in conjunction with Commonwealth Day celebrations.

On Instagram, user @i.am.khairul.anwar congratulated songwriters Hael Kong and Ezra Husaini for having created a world-class piece that is appreciated by international listeners, calling their work “valuable and exclusive”.

Meanwhile, @Md.ikmns commented that “Anta Permana” has a melody and lyrics that give off a “royal vibe”.

On Facebook, user Adam Adnan remarked: “Wow, this is no ordinary feat – perfectly fitting for Siti’s level … Her voice is legendary, the true voice of a Malay star.”

Instagram user @NurAinfleur wrote, “There are 56 Commonwealth countries, but only 17 songs made it to the playlist, and only four are non-English songs … Clearly, the selection wasn’t just because Malaysia is a Commonwealth country.”

Meanwhile, Siti expressed her joy, pride and gratitude upon learning that “Anta Permana” was included in Charles’s personal playlist.

“Music transcends culture, race, and language. I never expected ‘Anta Permana’ to be chosen, and at the same time, for King Charles III to know that the song is about love,” she shared in a radio interview video posted on Instagram.

Hael, the song’s composer, also did not expect the track, which he co-wrote with Kong, to be selected.

“Alhamdulillah, proud (to be Malaysian),” Hael wrote on Instagram.

The British monarch’s curated selection is compiled on Apple Music under the title “His Majesty King Charles III’s Playlist”, featuring a mix of music from around the world.

Siti’s song is listed alongside performances by 16 other artistes, including Bob Marley, Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, Beyoncé, and Michael Bublé.

With a total runtime of an hour and 10 minutes, Charles’s personal playlist has also been shared exclusively on the royal family’s official social media accounts.
