Ik Vaari Aa - Raabta by Arijit Singh

Some songs are made for a single moment. Ik Vaari Aa - Raabta is made for all of them. Pritam built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Every line Arijit Singh sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The song is tied to Sushant Singh Rajput, Kriti Sanon, Jim Sarbh, Varun Sharma, whose presence gives Ik Vaari Aa - Raabta a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

By the end of 2017, Ik Vaari Aa - Raabta had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 4:34, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
