The dance anthem’s choreography is in line with the tune’s funky music and it is impossible not to move to it. The lyrics range from Urdu, Punjabi to English, mixed with some electro-pop plus desi beats to make it very relevant even for mehndis and shendis. The song is making waves over the internet and it is hard to even miss on television. Sohna Tu is definitely the new jam for millennials and people are enjoying the different experimental beat.
The song represents the brimming energy of young musicians, singers and dancers all around the globe. As Pepsi has always been at the forefront of creating opportunities for the youth, Why Not Meri Jaan series is another step in promoting contemporary Pakistani music in the world, and with Sohna Tu, Pakistani talent is shining through and through.
Pepsi has dropped the beat, are you ready to move to it?
