Singer Guru Randhawa, who has delivered hits such as Outfit and High Rated, says, “I write my songs taking inspiration from everyday life, and add a touch of common English words. English words make the lyrics easier for them to understand.” Singer Guru Randhawa says that he takes inspiration for his song lyrics from everyday conversations. If there are only Punjabi lyrics, then only Punjabis will listen to us.”Įxpressing a similar view, Rav Hanjra, the lyricist of all nine songs of Diljit’s latest album, Con.Fi.Den.Tial, says, “English words increase the range of listeners for us. Today, the songs that become hits are the ones that have simple lyrics. Words that are used in daily life are catchy for listeners. Most people mix Hindi, Punjabi, and English while talking. Singer Jassi Gill says, “Lyrics come from conversations. Give a Punjabi song an English title, sprinkle the lyrics with some English words and brand mentions, and there you have the golden recipe for a “relatable” song! Recent examples include: High End and Big Scene (both by Diljit Dosanjh) Illegal Weapon (by Jasmine Sandlas, featuring Garry Sandhu) Yeah Baby (by Garry Sandhu) Backbone (by Harrdy Sandhu) Youth (by Mankirt Aulakh) Trending Nakhra (by Amrit Maan) One Million (by Jazzy B) and It’s All About You (by Sidhu Moosewala).Īccording to the artistes, the idea is to reach out to non-Punjabi listeners, and if the lyrics reflect the everyday style of our conversations, it’s easier to strike a chord.
