Noah version

In 2012, Peterpan changed their name to Noah.[8] Due to several reasons, such as wanting their old song to be released under Noah name, a desire to improve the recordings since some songs were not recorded the way they wished, and in order to properly adapt their old songs to digital format, Noah re-recorded their songs from Peterpan era.[9] Noah's version of Bintang di Surga was released on 12 January 2022.[10]
