In this 2nd album, ST 12 has keep melayu on their unique music style but arrange in modern style. First single “P.U.S.P.A” has a bittingly funny lyric , the music is similar to single “Aku Masih Sayang” in their 1st album which has became a famous song,too. Below is the list of track songs in P.U.S.P.A album :
