Indonesian struggle songs are music created for national purposes. Song lyrics must contain elements that can arouse the spirit of struggle. Mainly for fighters in the colonial period.

Then, these songs are called compulsory songs because school teachers are required to teach the song to their students with the aim of instilling a love of water, appreciating and remembering heroes' services and emulating the spirit of their struggle.

The national song was composed by Indonesian composers who lived before Indonesia's independence. Some of the names we may have heard like WR. Supratman, Ismail Marzuki, Kusbini C. Simanjuntak and so on.

Well, based on the Instruction of the Young Minister of Teaching and Culture Education no. 1 dated 17 August 1959 as outlined in a Government Regulation and published by the library center in 1963 and in the application there are national compulsory song lyrics.
