"Not For Sale" is the third single released from the album #1 by Stacy, winner of the sixth season of Akademi Fantasia. The song features Malaysian rapper Altimet.[1]
Composition[edit]
The song was composed primarily by Omar K. and Audi Mok.[1] Lyrically, its lyrics are from the perspective of a woman left at home pining for her lover, a man who provides her with luxury and finery instead of his own time.[1] Stacy's vocal range spans from D3 to C5, consistently using her lower register for the most part of the song.
The song’s second verse is a fine showcase of its theme — Stacy sings “rumah ini / hanya dipenuhi dengan bunyi / gema kasut Jimmy Choo kau beli, untuk hari jadi / yang bukan kau hantar pun sendiri“.
Altimet retorts as her male counterpart, claiming that she’s the one who made it that way, using lines like “kalau berhijab ada skaf Cavalli” and “kalau not for sale kenapa masih di sini“.[1]
Promotion[edit]
Stacy promoted the song through various media outlets and shows. Her first ever live performance of this song was in Zouk, Kuala Lumpur, during the launching of the album. She heavily promoted the single through Era FM in starting from "Jelajah #SATE", the EraKustik. Shortly after that, she performed on MeleTop Era[2]
In July 2015, she performed mash-up version of the song with Akim in Akustika Hot FM.[3] The same version of the song was also performed in Konsert Patriot in September the same year.[4]
Owing to the numerous votes, Stacy was invited to perform the song on MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2015 as the #mostwantedAct,[5] sharing the same stage with popular international artists like Carly Rae Jepsen and Jason Derulo in September 2015. In December, she performed the song in Kota Kinabalu for #XpaxKESS organised by Era Fm.
She expressed "I’m shaking with excitement with this huge opportunity on the MTV stage. Thank you MTV and to my fans who voted me as Malaysia’s #MostWanted Act. I’ll make you proud! So come celebrate with me at MTV World Stage Malaysia 2015!” when interviewed by MTV.[6]
