25-25 by Arjan Dhillon

25-25 arrived from the 25-25 album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2022. The arrangement here is the work of MXRCI, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Arjan Dhillon's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives 25-25 a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

The song dates from 2022, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 3:35, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Arjan Dhillon and MXRCI, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
