Production
Puteri was Amy Mastura's third album, following the massive success of her first two albums, a self-titled debut album (1994) and Pujaanku (1996), which was well-received upon release.[3][4] The album was recorded in six different recording studios, including Booty Boys Studio and Synchrosound Studios. For the first time in her music career, Amy Mastura composed and wrote the lyrics for the titular song, which is the album's shortest track.[3]

Singer, composer and recorder producer Ajai provided backing vocals for "Izinkanlah".[3]
In the album, Amy Mastura re-recorded two old songs – "Gema Rembulan", which made famous by Dutch singer, Anneke Grönloh in 1950s, and "Kasihku", by Rahim Maarof from his 1988 album, Kristal.[5][6] There's another song in the album, entitled "Hanya Dalam Lagu" which was originally intended to be given to Siti Nurhaliza, but was later given to Amy.[7] Puteri would be the last studio album Amy Mastura released under Pony Canyon as her contract with the label ended in December 1997. However, she went on to released her last two albums with Pony Canyon later, namely The Best of Amy Mastura and Versi Remix.
