FUGŌ's Theme Song For 'Ejen Ali The Movie 2' – 'Some Other Day' – Is An Emotionally-Resonant Anthem
You don't have to be an Ejen Ali fan to feel the emotional pull of 'Some Other Day.'
This track by Kuala Lumpur's indie trio FUGŌ is like a warm hug from a close friend – universally relatable and quietly powerful.
More Than Just A Movie Soundtrack
While it's the official soundtrack for Ejen Ali The Movie 2, 'Some Other Day' isn't your typical action flick anthem. Instead of fading into the background, it steps forward with emotional clarity, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and breathe amidst the movie's high-tech spy thrills.
The song carries a tender message about change, friendship, and resilience that resonates well beyond the screen.
FUGŌ's Heartfelt Sound
If FUGŌ is new to you, 'Some Other Day' is the perfect intro. Formed in 2019, the trio – Hakim Kamal (vocals and guitar), Kayrol Ami (bass), and Fai (keys) – have built their reputation in the local indie scene with heartfelt, mellow acoustic vibes and honest lyrics that feel like a personal conversation. Their sound blends gentle guitars with dreamy synth layers, creating a cinematic yet intimate atmosphere.
Compared to earlier tracks like 'Waiting' and 'As Long As We Stay,' this song focuses less on sonic experimentation and more on emotional clarity, holding space for quiet reflection and hope.
A Soothing Anthem For The Heart
Lines like 'Dan kita akan okay, and we will be alright' linger long after the song ends. It's a soft, reassuring reminder for anyone navigating tough seasons, but still clinging to hope. This makes the track not just a soundtrack piece, but a comforting anthem for listeners.
If you've been missing a friend or feeling low, 'Some Other Day' gently voices what you might struggle to say – it's like a musical hug: steady, sincere, and quietly uplifting. By balancing the film's adrenaline with emotional depth, the track also makes Ejen Ali The Movie 2 more accessible and meaningful to audiences of all ages.

'Only RM415 for 56,000 views' - M'sian content creator exposes ad revenue per video
THINKING about delving into content creation? Think again, says a Malaysian food-based content creator who recently pointed out that this career does not guarantee overnight success. 'I'm not trying to discourage anyone, but it's important to acknowledge reality,' said well-known content creator Che Nom in a Facebook post. Che Nom reminded those considering a career in online content creation that passion alone is not enough, emphasising the importance of quality and how much it takes to make such online content. 'If you rely solely on revenue from YouTube advertisements, that's not enough,' she said in her post. Che Nom also shared that newcomers, especially those with videos receiving fewer than 3,000 views, may not even earn up to RM2,500. Using one of her own recipe videos as an example, she revealed that it earned only RM415.40 from 56,000 views—even a month after it was posted. 'This recipe was actually difficult to execute – I had to test it multiple times, the ingredients were expensive, and filming the video also took a long time.' She added that the cost of producing five to six videos can range between RM12,000 and RM16,000. Some of the costs listed include: - Videographer: RM2,500 – RM3,500 - Editor: RM2,500 – RM3,000 - Kitchen assistant: RM2,000 – RM2,500 Che Nom also noted that even experienced content creators are struggling to sustain their platforms, especially with more viewers now gravitating towards short-form video platforms like TikTok. 'There are so many content creators now. If your video isn't sharp or the audio isn't clear, viewers will just swipe away. Audiences are more selective these days,' she explained. With that in mind, she advised aspiring creators to diversify their sources of income and never rely solely on ad revenue. Many agreed that content creation is a challenging career path, where the effort often outweighs the reward. One user also pointed out another common challenge content creators face—having their content 'stolen' and reposted by other social media accounts without proper credit, which can negatively affect both viewership and revenue. 'This is absolutely true. There's a lot of effort, cost, and sacrifice behind the scenes that we as viewers don't always see,' one user commented.

Ejen Ali 2 continues its amazing run as producers now hoping for mission accomplished with an impressive RM65mil haul
Hit animated movie "Ejen Ali The Movie 2" (EATM2) is still doing well with local cinemagoers and producers are now hoping to reach the mission possible of seeing a total haul of RM65 million, itself that will be an amazing benchmark for animated movies. Producers of the movie, Primeworks Studios, have called the Malaysian fans of the movies, whom they have nicknames 'Agents', to continue supporting the movie, which has already hit the magic number of RM55.1 million this week, the highest ever collection for an animated movie in Malaysia. "Agents, time is running out. We are in a mission now. We are hoping for a never before seen collection for an animated movie and we hope our agents will see us through in reaching the target," said Pinework Studios in a statement. The media release also pointed out that the biggest number of fans for the movie are from Selangor, Federal Territories (KL and Putrajaya), Johor, Perak and Kedah . "We are counting on our Agents the deliver and ensure further success of this movie. We thank the fans for the immense support and we have they continue supporting us. "Let's create another big success for local animated films. The producers also promise to up the tempo and raise the bar in our future ventures. Again, we thank all agents (fans) for their fantastic support," said Pinework Studios. Even more impressive, EATM2 has now surpassed the grossing of blockbuster films from Hollywood and Asia over the past two months. This is a clear testament to the confidence and extraordinary support of Malaysian audiences for animated films that are based on local identity and spirit. 'This success does not belong to WAU Animation alone but to all the agents who believed in and stood by us from the beginning," said Usamah Zaid Yasin, director of the EATM2 film. "I truly appreciate the dedication of the entire WAU Animation team who have poured their energy and creativity into making this film a success. "Thank you also to our production partner, Primeworks Studios, who have given their full commitment in promoting this film, and have always come up with fresh and bold new ideas to ensure that EATM2 continues to be the audience's choice. "And of course, the highest appreciation goes to the fans who have been our backbone and main source of inspiration since day one.' From an animated series on television to the silver screen, Ejen Ali has grown into a mature and influential franchise. This second film not only strengthens the brand, but also reflects the evolution of local animated storytelling that is bolder, more dimensional and touches the hearts of various audiences. The first two seasons of the series were followed by 'Ejen Ali The Movie' in November 2019, which grossed an impressive RM30 million (US$8 million) in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia, making it one of the highest-grossing animated films in Malaysia to date. The latest installment, 'Ejen Ali Season 3', also holds the title of being the first Malaysian animated intellectual property to be co-produced with Disney+ Hotstar South-East Asia, and the series was launched exclusively on the streaming service in June 2022. For the record, EATM2 is still showing in cinemas nationwide.
