Teri Maa by Chandra Brar, Mixsingh

Released as part of Teri Maa, Teri Maa announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. The production by Mixsingh is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Chandra Brar, Mixsingh understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Teri Maa a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

2024 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Teri Maa 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 3:13, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
