Saath Jatt Da by Himmat Sandhu

Saath Jatt Da is one of those rare Punjabi tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. Credit goes to Laddi Gill for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Himmat Sandhu inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2018 marked the release of Saath Jatt Da, and Saath Jatt Da was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to Saath Jatt Da. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 3:03, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. For anyone yet to hear Saath Jatt Da, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
