Launching the first digital single in 2020, Weird Genius joins singer and rapper from Surabaya, Sara Fajira. The latest single titled 'LATHI' is available via download and streaming on all digital music platforms starting February 28, 2020.

Staying on the electronic dance music track, they played a pumping beat entry that could not be separated from the main characteristic of Weird Genius, which is to combine traditional elements in every music. This time the Javanese culture was very thick even from the first note of the song to the end, plus a bridge using Javanese lyrics that was sung with the style of sinden by Sara.

"The producing & recording process is quite fast, approximately one month. The lyrics are inspired by personal experiences that many couples might have experienced and were written by Weird Genius with Sara Fajira. Musically, we balance EDM and modern English with traditional culture from Javanese instruments and lyrics, "explained Weird Genius.

The lyrics of this English song speak of a love relationship full of lies and egos that 'says' love but only hurts. Despite emphasizing the dark side of the relationship, upbeat music and honest lyrics bring the implied meaning of courage and a strong stand in the face of 'a toxic relationship'. Described in a piece of Javanese lyrics "Kowe ra iso mlayu saka error. Ajining myself an ing lathi ", meaning" You cannot run away from mistakes. A person's self-esteem is on the tongue (his words) ", taken from the old Javanese proverb" Ajining soko lathi, ajining rogo soko busono."
