Daytona by Karan Aujla, IKKY, Ikwinder Sahota, Kirk Grange, Zachary Stuckey

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Daytona, Karan Aujla, IKKY, Ikwinder Sahota, Kirk Grange, Zachary Stuckey clearly belongs in the second group. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The 2025 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 3:13, 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 Daytona, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
