Nath by Starboy X, Mani Longia

Released as part of Unbound, Nath announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Behind the melody is the work of Mandhir Singh, Sahil Bawa, whose composition choices give Nath its distinctive texture.

Starboy X, Mani Longia delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

Released in 2026, it arrived at a time when Punjabi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Some music is background. Nath demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The 2:27 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Years from now, Nath will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
