Defend by Jordan Sandhu

There is an honesty to Defend that separates it from most Punjabi songs released around the same time. Snappy's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The voice of Jordan Sandhu carries Defend effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Defend finds its musical expression here — Defend is where the film's heart beats loudest.

The 2020 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. Defend is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

Running to 2:53, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Years from now, Defend will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
