One Side by Himmat Sandhu

Released as part of One Side, One Side announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Credit goes to Laddi Gill for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The vocal on One Side is among the better performances Himmat Sandhu has committed to record. 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.

In 2020, Punjabi produced many songs, but One Side was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

Running to 2:54, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. One Side has earned its place in the catalogue of Punjabi music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
