| Stephanie Poetri Releases 2 New Tracks ‘Do You Love Me’ & ‘Touch’ and Debuts Dreamy Music Videos |
Praise For Stephanie Poetri “19-year-old
songstress, Stephanie Poetri is thriving,” – E! Online. “If you're in tune with
viral hits, then you've probably heard of a little song called “I Love You 3000”
by Stephanie Poetri,” – BuzzFeed
Directed by Jason Ano (Joji, August 08) the dreamy music video is a classic unrequited love story. The lyrics of the song reveal Stephanie’s cute obsession over whether or not her crush loves her back. The video showcases a lovely vocal performance from the superstar, stretching from intimate verses full of curiosity to the irresistible hook, “Do you love me love me love me, yeah? Do you love me, love me, love me not?”
Do You Love Me by Stephanie Poetri
Speaking on “Do You Love Me”,
Stephanie explains, “You’re picking flower petals and wondering if this person
loves you or not. Either way, I’m still fighting for you in weird ways. The
meaning is actually quirky and funny, in my opinion. It questions if the
romance is real, so we’re ironically releasing it on Valentine’s Day.”
Touch by Stephanie Poetri
The unpredictable and undeniable
“Touch” visualized the mind’s details when missing someone’s presence. Directed
by Sarah McColgan (Mariah Carey, H.E.R., Charlie XCX, Miguel), “Touch” interprets
a romantic, mid-century modern story about yearning for that special someone
and the everyday routines that used to be shared. Stephanie reminisces in her
quirky, fun-loving nature throughout multiple scenes with a complimentary
mannequin-like figure who has recently left her side. Watch the music video

“‘Touch’ shows a more mature side
of losing somebody. It’s more intimate [than “Do You Love Me”], as if the song
is coming from inside your head,” says Stephanie. “That’s why the song sounds a
little bit more quiet and emotional.”
This past year was a tremendous
moment for Stephanie. Her debut single, “I Love You 3000”, topped Spotify’s
Global Viral 50 for over 4 weeks, and inspired countless covers and fan videos across
the internet. With over 425 million streams to date worldwide, the pair of
tracks properly introduce the Indonesian born songstress who has found and
perfected her sound.
Stephanie has started a
conversation that will go on for a long time to come. “I’d love for people to
fit this music into their day-to-day lives,” she leaves off. “If I can be part
of someone’s daily soundtrack, whether they take the song as a positive or a
negative, there’s nothing better.”
Stephanie Poetri grew up in Jakarta, music may have seemed like a foregone conclusion for Los Angeles based artist, singer, songwriter, producer, and creative Stephanie Poetri. After all, her mom Titi DJ remains one of Indonesia’s biggest artists and most recognizable personalities and her dad taught music at Stephanie’s school. However, her interests initially veered away from the spotlight and towards everything else - from music production and psychology to cooking and badminton.
So, she kept her passion for writing a secret, even though mom caught her behind the piano once or twice! Nevertheless, music called to Stephanie. Having built an impressive social media following, she often hosted Q&A sessions on Instagram.
One day, she asked the internet to “send me a word or a phrase to write into a chorus.” As Avengers: Endgame opened in theaters a week prior, countless fans quoted Iron Man’s daughter by submitting, “I Love You 3000.”
Stephanie used the chorus in a viral Instagram story as followers begged her to write a full version. She obliged. Handling everything from the artwork to the music video in her own in D.I.Y. fashion, “I Love You 3000” popped off as a phenomenon around the world. She scored nearly half-a-billion streams in six months, and received praises from BuzzFeed, E!, and Billboard.
