The response of the song has really made Singh happy. “I feel amazing at the moment as it was a dream to see it reach, that number. So, I am happy to have it come true.”
‘Allah Ve’ from ‘Coke Studio’ too is catching up. “The songs reached five lakh views at the moment and we are sure it is going to get lot more views. It is very different from all Raftaar songs or any of those rap songs out there. This one talks about humanity and is a poetry created with some real deep meaning.”
‘Ki Banu Duniya Da’ is composed by Gurdas Mann, sung by Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh and arranged by Jatinder Shah. It reiterates a message for the youth that speaks about not forgetting your roots, in this age of modernity.
On the other hand hip-hop talent, Manj Musik, Raftaar and Jashan Singh have worked together on ‘Allah Ve’. The song talks about breaking barriers and spreading love and embodies, that no religion is bigger than the religion called humanity.
