The first song they recorded for release is "Mimpi yang Sempurna", which was recorded for Musica Studio's compilation album Kisah 2002 Malam (2002). The song was released as a single and helped the album sold 150.000 copies.[25] Peterpan soon joined Musica Studio's and recorded three studio albums, Taman Langit (2003), Bintang di Surga (2004), and Hari yang Cerah (2007); a soundtrack album, Alexandria (2005); and a compilation album, Sebuah Nama, Sebuah Cerita (2008). Due to Andika and Indra's split from the band in 2006, the band dropped the Peterpan name in 2008 and used the band members' names as a placeholder.[26] The initial plan to announce their new name in 2010 was delayed because Ariel was arrested that year due to a celebrity sex tape featuring him.[27][28] During Ariel's time in prison, the band recorded instrumental version of their songs which was released in Suara Lainnya (2012).
After Ariel was released from prison, the band announced their new name: Noah, on 2 August 2012.[29] They followed it up with releasing their first song as Noah, "Separuh Aku", on 3 August,[30] which helped their debut album as Noah, Seperti Seharusnya (2012), sold over one million copies.[31] In addition to recording new songs, the band re-recorded most of Peterpan's songs in a project titled "Second Chance", which consisted of four albums: Second Chance (2014), Taman Langit (2021), Bintang di Surga (2022), and Hari yang Cerah (2022). During Noah era, Ariel's part in songwriting decreased as he said that he had difficulty writing lyrics and the band thus collaborated with other song and book writers to help with the lyrics.[32][33]
Peterpan collaborated with Chrisye on "Menunggumu" in Chrisye's album, Senyawa (2004). Peterpan and Noah also has covered several Chrisye's song, namely "Kisah Cintaku", "Sendiri Lagi", and "Kala Cinta Menggoda".
