The two music videos are packaged as bonus material in her album. One feather in her cap is Amanda’s "Kita Sama Sahaja"; which became the theme song for an Astro Ria tele-movie – "Cinta Itu Buta" – and its accompanying music video was featured regularly on the TV channel, ahead of the release of her debut album.
