Weekend by Diljit Dosanjh

Weekend is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The arrangement here is the work of Snappy, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

The performance by Diljit Dosanjh is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Con.Fi.Den.Tial finds its musical expression here — Weekend is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2018 marked the release of Con.Fi.Den.Tial, and Weekend was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is a quality to Weekend that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

Running to 2:41, 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.
