Soulmate by Badshah, Arijit Singh

Badshah, Arijit Singh has delivered memorable performances before, but Soulmate sits comfortably among the very best. What makes Soulmate musically distinctive is the composition by Badshah, which balances simplicity with depth.

Every line Badshah, Arijit Singh sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The song dates from 2024, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

At 3:33, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Indian Pop in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
