The album, which is also his only cover album, contains rearrangements of older Indonesian songs that spanned six decades, from 1940 to 2002.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Liputan6.com|date=2002-10-11|title=Album "Dekade" Chrisye|url=https://www.liputan6.com/showbiz/read/219143/album-quotdekadequot-chrisye|website=liputan6.com|language=id|access-date=2023-05-15}}</ref>
==Creation== The idea for ''Dekade'' came when Chrisye thought about previously popular songs that were later forgotten. Believing that all genres of modern music draw inspiration from the past, he spoke with Erwin Gutawa, who agreed that they should make a tribute to the history of Indonesian pop music. They worked together to find songs that they could obtain the rights to use and that matched Chrisye's timbre.<ref name="Dekade"/>
Eventually, they decided on "Kr. Pasar Gambir dan Stambul Anak Jampang" to represent the 1940s, "Di Bawah Sinar Bulan Purnama" to represent the 1950s, "Dara Manisku" to represent the 1960s, "Anggrek Bulan" and "Pengalaman Pertama" to represent the 1970s, "Kisah Kasih di Sekolah" and "Sakura dalam Pelukan" to represent the 1980s, "Kangen" to represent the 1990s, and "Seperti Yang Kau Minta" to represent the 2000s.<ref name="Musica">"[http://www.musica-studios.co.id/?show=albums&cid=8&pages_id=247&detail=1 CHRISYE – DEDIKASI – DEKADE]" ''Musica Studios''. 9 October 2002. {{in lang|id}}</ref> The songs that were chosen originated from a variety of genres, including kroncong, rock and roll, pop,<ref name="Dekade"/> and dangdut.<ref name="Musica"/>
Upon Chrisye's request, Musica Studios approached Sophia Latjuba to be his duet partner. According to Chrisye, he chose her for her "unique" voice. Although Sophia Latjuba was surprised to be asked and was under contract to a different label, she accepted.<ref>"[http://www.tembang.com/info_detail.asp?id=1208&kategori=news Dekade, Jembatan Antar Generasi Chrisye] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324084511/http://www.tembang.com/info_detail.asp?id=1208&kategori=news |date=2012-03-24 }}".

Chrisye and Sophia Latjuba recorded their vocals in Musica Studios' studio in Jakarta, while the Allan Eaton Orchestra recorded the music in their studio in Melbourne, Australia. Arrangement was done by Erwin Gutawa.<ref name="Dekade"/> Work also took place at Sing-Sing Studio in Melbourne and 301 Studio in Sydney. All told, over fifty people worked on the album.<ref name="Musica"/>
