HIM. by Karan Aujla, IKKY, Ikwinder Sahota, Jamal Europe, Milan D'Agostini

HIM. works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. The music, composed by Ikwinder Sahota, Jamal Europe, Karan Aujla, Milan D'Agostini, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by Karan Aujla, IKKY, Ikwinder Sahota, Jamal Europe, Milan D'Agostini is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of HIM., making it as much a performance as a song.

2025 marked the release of P-Pop Culture, and HIM. was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to HIM.. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The concision of HIM. — just 3:11 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Indian Pop in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
