Old Skool by Prem Dhillon, Sidhu Moose Wala, Naseeb

Old Skool is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The Kidd built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Prem Dhillon, Sidhu Moose Wala, Naseeb delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Old Skool is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2020 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Old Skool was among the reasons why. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 4:13, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
