Chosen by Sidhu Moose Wala

Released as part of Chosen, Chosen announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. The Kidd sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The voice of Sidhu Moose Wala carries Chosen effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Chosen is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

The song dates from 2019, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

Running to 4:24, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Chosen has earned its place in the catalogue of Punjabi music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
