Girlfriend by Jass Manak

Jass Manak has delivered memorable performances before, but Girlfriend sits comfortably among the very best. The production by Snappy is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Jass Manak understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

By the end of 2019, Girlfriend had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. There is a quality to Girlfriend that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

At 3:07, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Years from now, Girlfriend will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
