The lyrics talk about following your heart and achieving everything that you want despite the obstacles that come your way. No one is like you and that is your power, declares the song.
“Let the girls walk you through their struggles only to walk towards the light at the end of the tunnel by accepting yourself for who you are,” states the official description on YouTube.
The band gave a shoutout to all the kind people at Dhally flats who agreed to be a part of the aesthetically pleasing music video.
“A huge shoutout to all the super kind people at Dhally flats who agreed to be a part of our music video. Social distancing was maintained. The kids especially made the shoot fun with their sense of humour and the elderly who made sure the girls were safe and comfortable.”
With Anna Salman’s powerful vocals, Sumera Waris’s tabla expertise, Mishal Faheem’s drummings and Amal Nadeem’s violin playing skills, these girls are taking over the music space, one song at a time.
