Excuses by Garry Sandhu

The Excuses album has several strong tracks, but Excuses is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Vee Music is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The performance by Garry Sandhu is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

When it came out in 2017, Excuses felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

At 4:35, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Excuses endures because it was built on feeling rather than formula — and that is the one thing streaming numbers cannot manufacture.
