2019–2021: "I Love You 3000"

Poetri's breakthrough as an artist came with the release of her single, "I Love You 3000," on 3 June 2019. She revealed that inspiration from the song came from an Instagram Q&A with her followers, along with the release of a week before the Q&A.<ref name="E! online interview">Web site: Haddad . Hanan .

The song amassed over 425 million streams online, topping Spotify’s Global Viral 50 for over 4 weeks.[5] The song also resulted in her winning "Best New Asian Artist – Indonesia" at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[6] A remix of the song, titled "I Love You 3000 II", featured Got7 member Jackson Wang. It was released on 88rising's Head in the Clouds II album, hitting the Billboard social charts in China.[7] The pair also collaborated to create a music video, garnering over 14 million views on YouTube.[8]

In February 2020, Poetri released two new singles, titled "Do You Love Me" and "Touch." Both music videos have a combined view count of over 10 million on YouTube.[9] Poetri has described the songs as "anti-romance" songs, saying "In my opinion, [the songs] have a little bit more depth and they're less storyline-based, but still very much a kind of story that some people can relate to."[10]

In April 2020, Poetri released a single titled "Straight To You." Speaking on the music video, Poetri stated "I decided to do a fun project where I used a green screen to make a video at home since we couldn't really shoot a full-on production during this time. I got very into it and made a full music video all by myself in my room and edited it really intensely over 48 hours!"[11]

In December 2020, Poetri released her single "Selfish." It was the first and only single to be released from her debut EP AM:PM.[12]

2021–present: AM:PM

On 12 March 2021, Poetri released her debut EP AM:PM.[13]

Personal life

Poetri moved to Los Angeles, California in November 2019 to pursue her music career. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, she made the decision to move back to Jakarta to be with her family.[14]

Poetri has cited Alec Benjamin, Finneas, Jeremy Zucker, and fellow 88rising artist NIKI as musical inspirations. She also enjoys K-pop, citing Blackpink, Got7, and TWICE as some of her favorite groups.[15]

Poetri began streaming on Twitch in October 2020, where she does gaming and music streams.[16]
