    "High School in Jakarta" by NIKI Out Now!
    niki.lnk.to/HSiJ
    Written by: Nicole Zefanya
    Produced by: NIKI, Jacob Ray, & Reske
    VERSE 1
    Didn’t you hear Amanda’s moving back to Colorado?
    It’s 2013 & the end of my life
    Freshman year’s about to plummet just a little harder
    But it didn’t cause we kissed on that Halloween night
    VERSE 2
    I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa
    It was orange from 3% peroxide, thanks to you
    I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra’s
    I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew
    PRE CHORUS 1
    Now there’s drama (drama)
    Found a club for that
    Where I met ya (met ya)
    Had a heart attack
    Yadda yadda
    At the end, yeah we burned, made a couple U-turns, you were it til you weren’t
    CHORUS 1
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
    We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
    Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
    I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
    You love/hate your mother, so do I
    Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
    VERSE 2
    Got a group assignment, I’ll be at Vall’s place
    You don’t text at all and only call when you’re off your face
    I’m petty and say, “Call me when you’re not unstable”
    I lie and tell you I’ll be getting drunk at Rachel’s
    PRE CHORUS 2
    I wasn’t
    She doesn’t even drink
    But I couldn’t have you sit there and think
    That you’re better, cause you’re older
    Are you better, now that we’re older?
    CHORUS 2
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
    We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
    Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, a comedy drama
    I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
    You love/hate your mother, so do I
    Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
    BRIDGE
    Natasha’s moving to New York
    Probably sometime in August
    And I’m spending the summer in Singapore
    I’m so sad I can’t tell you shit anymore
    I made friends with Abby this year
    We’re moving in in March or so
    And although you bring me to tears
    I’m glad that we gave it a go
    CHORUS 3
    High school in Jakarta, American summer
    Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
    I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
    Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta,
    I won’t but I wanna
    Ask you when you talk about it do I ever come up?
    Say thanks to your mama, now we’re through
    Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta

    Pangsa pasar NIKI bukan hanya Indo guys, jd video clip menggambarkan dan mengabdaptasikan lingkungan/ hal2 yg trjadi di SMA di negara2 maju atau sekolah2 internasional gt (trutama pasar USA, biar mrk bisa jg lebih mudah memahami) emang jauh dari gambaran sekolah negri/madrasah.hehe..... btw, salud NIKI selalu membawa ke -Indonesia-annya

Nah pasaran Niki buat kagu ini kl bkn org AS yaa anak2 inter (since indonesian international students get very little to no representation in music)

    Made a couplе U-turns
    You were it 'til you werеn't (Mm)
    [Chorus]
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
    We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
    Yeah, livin' under that was hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
    I still hate you for makin' me wish I came out smarter
    You love-hate your mother, so do I
    Could've ended different, then again
    We went to high school in Jakarta

    Got a group assignment, I'll be at Vall's place
    You don't text at all and only call when you're off your face
    I'm petty and say, "Call me when you're not unstable"
    I lie and tell you I'll be gettin' drunk at Rachel's
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I wasn't, she doesn't even drink
    But I couldn't have you sit there and think
    That you're better 'cause you're older
    Are you better now that we're older?
    [Chorus]
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas

    Natasha's movin' to New York (New York)
    Probably sometime in August (Ah)
    And I'm spendin' the summer in Singapore (Ah)
    I'm so sad, I can't tell you shit anymore
    I made friends with Abby this year (This is how I met your mother, oh my god)
    We're movin' in in March or so
    And although you bring me to tears
    I'm glad that we gave it a go
    [Chorus]
    High school in Jakarta, American summer
    Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
    I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
    Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, I won't, but I wanna
    Ask you when you talk about it, do I ever come up?
    Say thanks to your mama, now we're through
    Could've ended different, then again
    We went to high school in Jakarta

    Nice song. This day is 10th my reunion highschool. I'm so sad because 10 year ago on the last page of my highschool yearbook there was a ticket to 10 year later reunion but yesterday I asked everyone I knew my classmate on social media I know if there is reunion, they were reply with forget, don't care, and something like that. It hurt first because I wait 10 year until today July 19th 2024, I believe that last page of yearbook there will be reunion but there is not. They are seperated to far and can't come or meet. I feel sad and hurt because no one remember but I found this song. I listen the lyrics and yeah highschool in jakarta was like modern sparta as I remember back day.
    Because your song, I know what I should do. Let me ask permission to use this song for backsound to make short video about my highschool yearbook which is contain my classmates photos. If I can't see them face to face, I still remember them with their photos on yearbook 10 year ago. Thankyou for make this song. Your song heal a hole in my heart. 🇮🇩💖🫶✨

    I'm currently 22, just graduated from my undergrad and am continuing into grad school. I grew up in Jakarta, in a private school. This song brought me somewhere I haven't been in years.
    This song reminds me of those times when the hardest things in life were exams and romance. When we really did believe that we were fighting a tough battle, we thought we were giving it our all, it was our "modern Sparta" after all.
    It brings me back to when things were simpler, when hormones were rampant, when cliques were everything. Being a nerd in high school didn't help either, I was definitely helpless against a "teenage armada". Those times when drama between friends and lovers alike was all that mattered. A time when such immature, teenage things meant the whole world to us.
    I long for when time would stop when you were with the person you loved. I long for the time when everything was a simple comedy-drama.But now that I'm here, 4 years older, I feel like a totally different person. Am I really better, now that I'm older? I don't know... I hope so. I hope high school me thinks so.
    But high school was a different time, and this song brought all those feelings back for me. I can't help but cry at the bittersweet feeling of the amazing, fun, wonderful times I had, and the fact that all of it had to end.
    It could have went a lot different... but we went to high school in Jakarta. And that's what made me who I am today. And I am eternally grateful to have had that experience.

    VERSE 1
    Didn't you hear Amanda's movin' back to Colorado?
    It's 2013 and the end of my life
    Freshman's year's about to plummet just a little harder
    But it didn't 'cause we kissed on that Halloween night
    I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa
    It was orange from three percent peroxide, thanks to you
    I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra's
    I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew
    Now there's drama (drama), found a club for that
    Where I met ya (met ya), had a heart attack
    Yadda, yadda, at the end, yeah, we burned
    Made a couple U-turns, you were it 'til you weren't, mm
    REFF
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
    We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
    Yeah, livin' under that was hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
    I still hate you for makin' me wish I came out smarter
    You love-hate your mother, so do I
    Could've ended different, then again
    We went to high school in Jakarta
    VERSE 2
    Got a group assignment, I'll be at Val's place
    You don't text at all and only call when you're off your face
    I'm petty and say, "Call me when you're not unstable"
    I lie and tell you I'll be getting drunk at Rachel's
    I wasn't, she doesn't even drink
    But I couldn't have you sit there and think
    That you're better 'cause you're older
    Are you better now that we're older?
    REFF
    High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
    Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
    We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
    Yeah, livin' under that was hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, a comedy drama
    I still hate you for makin' me wish I came out smarter
    You love-hate your mother, so do I
    Could've ended different, then again
    We went to high school in Jakarta
    VERSE 3
    Natasha's movin' to New York (New York)
    Probably sometime in August (ah)
    And I'm spendin' the summer in Singapore (ah)
    I'm so sad I can't tell you shit anymore
    I made friends with Abby this year (this is how I met your mom) (oh, my God)
    We're movin' in in March or so
    And although you bring me to tears
    I'm glad that we gave it a go
    REFF
    High school in Jakarta, American summer
    Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
    I was your pinata, she was a star-charter
    Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
    High school in Jakarta, I won't, but I wanna
    Ask you when you talk about it, do I ever come up?
    Say thanks to your mama, now we're through
    Could've ended different, then again
    We went to high school in Jakarta

    i'm a college graduating student, a half filipino-indonesian and i grew up in the philippines. i was always curious about how life would be if i grew up in indonesia and if things would be the same. someday i'll visit jakarta and probably stay there because i want to learn about the culture and be invested in them. thanks to niki and brian, i somehow feel a little bit closer to my indonesian background.

      Im kinda the complete opposite. Also fil-indo but I grew up Filipino, studied in a Philippine school back in Saudi, but was kinda coerced to be more Indonesian. Listening to Nikki and Brian did help me appreciate the culture, but living here in Indonesia has made me realize a lot of things. Greatful, but still wish I was in the Philippines instead.

But growing up Filipino and being forced to act a certain way is just isn't for me. People are different here too yes, but that's not bad. It just shows the difference in culture.
