According to a press release Saaye is inspired by a mix of pop and electronic elements. Composed entirely by Turhan, the lyrics and vocals are by Maanu. As for the visuals, Turhan’s vision was to implement a “saaye” element into the music video.

The artists have both been styled by Rastah and Flux Media team, comprising Zain Peerzada and Luke Azariah have directed the entire video based on Turhan’s vision.

The song is a great mix of electronic and organic elements with a beautiful blend between sad and happy. In fact, fans are tempted to go on a road trip so I can listen to this track on repeat

“The song takes you on an emotional roller coaster journey but by the end the listener feels whole and at ease. A listener can turn to the video as an audio-visual experience of something they may be going through and know, that by the end of it, everything will be okay. We want people to feel some sort of comfort once they are finished listening to the song,” read the press release.
