Love Me Thoda Aur - Yaariyan by Pritam, Arijit Singh

Love Me Thoda Aur - Yaariyan works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. Pritam sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The vocal on Love Me Thoda Aur - Yaariyan is among the better performances Pritam, Arijit Singh has committed to record. The connection between Himansh Kohli, Rakul Preet, Evelyn Sharma, Nicole Faria, Pardi, Dev Sharma, Dipti Naval, Smita Jaykar, Sayali Bhagat, Jatin Suri, Gulshan Grover and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2014 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Love Me Thoda Aur - Yaariyan was among the reasons why. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

In 4:25 minutes, Love Me Thoda Aur - Yaariyan builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
