As his coronation song, "Kembali" showcased Mohede's powerful vocals and emotional delivery that had won over audiences throughout the season. The lyrics express a message of returning to one's true self and never giving up on dreams.
"Kembali" served as the lead single from Mike Mohede's self-titled first album, also released in 2005. The album featured a mix of pop and R&B tracks that further highlighted the young singer's talent and range. In 2007, Mohede represented Indonesia in the inaugural Asian Idol competition, a spinoff of the Idol franchise featuring winners from various Asian countries. He delivered a stirring rendition of "Kembali" during the finals that was praised as one of his best performances. However, Mohede ultimately placed as runner-up to Hady Mirza of Singapore Idol.
Despite not clinching the Asian Idol title, Mike Mohede's "Kembali" remains a beloved and defining song of his career. It not only launched him to fame in Indonesia, but also introduced his voice to a wider regional audience. To this day, the uplifting power ballad endures as a karaoke favorite and inspiring anthem.
