Punjab by Guru Randhawa

Not every song from Punjab lingers, but Punjab is the one that stays. The production by Guru Randhawa, JSL Singh is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The voice of Guru Randhawa carries Punjab effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Punjab, and Punjab captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

Released in 2025, it arrived at a time when Punjabi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. 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 2:16, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Punjab endures because it was built on feeling rather than formula — and that is the one thing streaming numbers cannot manufacture.
