The 4th season of Indonesian Idol premiered on RCTI on March 30, 2007 and concluded on July 28, 2007. Daniel Mananta and Ata continued to host the show. On the workshop round plus the first two spectacular show, Daniel hosted the show alone due to Ata's pregnancy. Ata started joining Daniel back hosting the show on the third spectacular show. Additionally, Nirina Zubir and Indra Bekti were also announced as the hosts of Idol Banget, a behind-the-scenes show of Indonesian Idol.

Changes were made to the judging team this season. While Titi DJ and Indra Lesmana returned as the judges, due to scheduling difficulties of their career, Indy Barends and Dimas Djayadiningrat had resigned from judging the fourth season of Indonesian Idol. They both were replaced by Anang Hermansyah and Jamie Aditya. Anang, who is the husband of Indonesia's most famous Pop Diva, Krisdayanti, is also known as an established musician as well as a music producer. Jamie Aditya, was a Video Jockey during MTV Asia early years. Tika Panggabean served as guest judge several times during the temporary absence of judges Titi DJ and Jamie Aditya.

Rini Wulandari was announced the winner of the competition on July 28, 2007, defeating runner-up Wilson Maiseka after nearly 2.4 million votes. The split between the two was 51.2 percent to 48.8 percent. After winning, Rini sang the song "Aku Tetap Milikmu", which was the winning song of the Idol Song Competition.

On Wednesday, January 10, 2007, FremantleMedia Asia officially launched the fourth edition of award winning Indonesian Idols. The show was initially announced at the 2006 Panasonic Awards when the Indonesian Idols judges were on hand to receive the award for the Best Music and Variety Show. The 4th season commercial also has been airing in RCTI prior to the official launch date. In the official Indonesian Idols website, it was stated that starting from Season 4, future Idols participants can register online and print the audition form rather than using the current registration process which might take up to a whole day to complete. This season saw a big jump in number of applicants. More than 90,000 people turned up for the auditions. Contestants were required to be between the ages 16–28.
