Top Punjabi Party songs – 2020s

“For A Reason” sees Karan Aujla putting sentiment front and center, circling around the idea that attachment isn’t always accidental.

Backed by production from Ikky and Milano, the song floats on a melodic arrangement that keeps things steady without slipping into schmaltz.

The lyrics, written and delivered by Aujla himself, trace a line between devotion and longing—where showing up matters just as much as saying it.

Directed by Agam Mann and Aseem Mann, the video doesn’t wander far from the narrative, leaning into romance with a camera that knows what it’s looking for.

All stitched together, “For A Reason” runs on emotion but never loses its composure, balancing contemporary Punjabi sound with a script that sticks to its theme.

“Barota” drops in late November 2025, three years after Moosewala’s death, with Sweetaj Brar and The Kidd onboard to keep the mood rural and the tone familiar.

He sticks to what he knows: storylines packed with rivalry, testosterone, and just a touch of flirtation—all wrapped in Punjabi metaphors and village analogies that don’t try too hard.

The beat stays raw, the vocals rough-edged, and the production lets the dirt show, which is probably the point.

What pulls it together is the confidence, less shouted than implied, threading through every bar like a man who’s not worried about being remembered.

Released on November 5, 2025, “Midnight Call” fits neatly into Harkirat Sangha’s *Interstellar* album, clocking in at a compact 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

Sangha handles both lyrics and vocals, opting for a tone that leans more nocturnal musings than full-hearted serenade.

The production by Starboy X balances Punjabi pop with modern textures—think electronic polish softened by measured guitar lines.

Mixing also comes courtesy of Starboy X, while Gurjit Thind takes over mastering, rounding out a setup that’s clean without being ostentatious.

What holds the track together is Sangha’s stripped-back melodic style, giving just enough emotional pull to keep things grounded.

“Midnight Call” plays its hand carefully, gliding through late-night introspection without losing itself in it.

“Supreme” pairs Shubh’s Punjabi lyricism with a hip hop and trap backbone, engineered by producer Kronic with assistance from Sickboi.

Not content with stereo convention, the track incorporates Dolby Atmos, signaling a polished auditory layer rare in Punjabi singles.

Shubh, born Shubhdeep Singh, continues his trajectory among diaspora audiences, following titles like “Elevated,” “Cheques,” and “Still Rollin.”

“MF Gabhru” by Karan Aujla from the album “Pop Culture” mixes Punjabi and hip-hop vibes, produced by Ikky. It’s a confident anthem, threading pride and resilience with regional twists. Karan Aujla, an Indian-Canadian artist, crafts this track with the same flair that brought hits like “Don’t Worry” and “Red Eyes.” His debut album “Bacthafucup” etched its place at No. 20 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. In 2024, Aujla snatched the TikTok JUNO Fan Choice Award, adding another feather to his cap.

“Young G.O.A.T” finds Cheema Y weaving Punjabi hip-hop and rap into a track produced by Gur Sidhu, a mainstay in the scene.

The title plays on the overused yet unavoidable acronym for “Greatest of All Time,” a staple in rap’s self-mythologizing vocabulary.

Released in February 2025 as part of an album sharing its name, the song follows a discography that includes “Cloud 9 – EP” (2024), “Snake – Single” (2024), and “Dripster – EP” (2023).

On “Deewane,” Navaan Sandhu teams up with Bir to sketch out a portrait of emotional intensity, where infatuation walks hand in hand with introspection.

The lyrics, co-written by the duo, keep it personal yet melodic, hitting that sweet spot between poetry and pop accessibility.

Daaku handles production duties with a restrained touch, keeping things emotive without tipping into melodrama.

Gurjit Thind’s mastering gives the whole thing a polished finish without sanding down its more vulnerable edges.

In “Ve Haaniyaan,” Avvy Sra teams up with Danny for a Punjabi ballad where love cures all, or at least loneliness.

The narrator, once adrift, insists he only discovered peace and happiness after meeting her—it’s less revelation than rescue mission.

She enters as a stranger and exits as his entire world, which seems efficient if not a little fast-tracked.

He pleads with her to stay close, because only her arms know the way to contentment—or at least that’s what his heart claims.

On “Can’t Be Us,” Prem Dhillon lays out sharp, confident bars over urban production shot through with traditional Punjabi textures.

His flair for mixing contemporary sound with folk elements is intact, and here it leans more defiant than reflective.

Thematically, the song circles around pride, identity, and where roots meet rhythm.

Sudesh Kumari’s vocals slip in with a knowing tone, threading the song with a folk resonance that tempers its aggression without softening it.

It doesn’t pretend to be intimate, but the energy stays convincing, even when it’s spelling things out in block letters.

Shubh leans into Punjabi swagger on “Balenci,” a track that swaps folk instruments for trap beats without losing the regional accent.

Gliding over crisp drums and atmospheric synths, he delivers melodic rap in Punjabi, where confidence wears designer threads and Balenciaga doubles as attitude.

The lyrics size up success through high-end fashion, steeped in self-assurance and personal flair.

It’s a seamless blend of hip-hop ambition and Punjabi cadence, more about posture than poetry, but catchy enough to sell the look.

“Cham Cham” is a Punjabi single performed by Kaka and Yahia Aala.

The song is released by Kaka Ji Records and features Punjabi and Arabic musical elements.

The rhythmic blend aims for contrast without overreaching into either style.

“Convo” pairs Punjabi vocalist Chinna with Cheema Y on a summer 2025 single released via Collab Creations, produced by Gur Sidhu.

The track lands a few months after Chinna’s debut album “A Kid from Gurdaspur,” cut with UK producer Manni Sandhu and dropped in January 2025.

Originally from the Gurdaspur region of India, Chinna (short for Arash Chinna) made his mark with tracks like “Rumours,” “Mere Dil Nu,” and “Moncler.”

“Rumours” in particular, released in 2024, brought noticeable attention to his approach within Punjabi hip-hop.

In “Tutor,” Cheema Y flips the script on the usual flex and steps in as a guide—drawing from personal grit, he turns lived experience into lyrical currency.

The track lands in 2025 as part of *The Simpsons* album, and teams him up with producer Gur Sidhu, whose clean, modern beat work gives the song its shape.

What follows is a heady mix: energetic rap meets emotional Punjabi hooks, stitched tightly over punchy, desi-trap-inflected production.

The lyrics lean into struggle and ambition, but don’t beg for sympathy—more like a smirk and a nod from someone who’s made it one rung up.

Meanwhile, the video keeps pace with the sound, serving up a fast-cut take on hustle, pride, and performance that stays just this side of flashy.

“Tutor” doesn’t announce a new direction for Cheema Y—it just reminds you he’s got more than one lane, and he’s using all of them.

From the “ROMEO” album, “Together” lands in 2025 with Nirvair Pannu pulling double duty on vocals and lyrics, apparently still convinced that less is not more when tackling matters of the heart.

Deol Harman signs off on the music, keeping things safely within the contours of contemporary Punjabi romance, complete with swelling devotion and coupledom in poetic form.

The music video, out in late November, brings in Harman Brar and director Kartoon, who offer scenery and looks meant to echo the emotional throughline, just in case the lyrics leave room for doubt.

Released by Juke Dock, the track doesn’t pretend to revolutionize anything—it simply leans into the familiar language of affectionate entanglement, rendered in polished Punjabi form.

“Kaatilana” goes for smooth rather than showy, trading bombast for a wistful trap-R&B blend that wouldn’t feel out of place on your late-night playlist.

Talwiinder’s vocals do most of the heavy lifting—gentle, yearning, and always a shade away from brooding, they sit neatly atop Push Kahlon’s snug production.

Rippy Grewal keeps the lyrics simple but poetic, hinging on glances and longing with just enough Punjabi flair to ward off the generic-tag.

The hook knows exactly what it’s doing—made for looping on Instagram stories, subtle enough not to scream trying-too-hard.

Released in 2025, the whole thing gets an extra layer of gloss via Bowdhitya’s music video, with Talwiinder and Sanna gazing significantly in soft lighting.

On “Levels & Graphs,” Navaan Sandhu turns his own trajectory into a metaphor, tracing the rise of his career, bank balance and mindset one bar at a time.

Set over JayB Singh’s brooding trap production, the track rolls out scores, stats and flexes like it’s a stock ticker with feelings.

His melodic sing-rap delivery toggles between cold recollection and cool self-assurance, sidelining fake friendships in favor of late-night introspection and sharp tailoring.

Released in 2025 as part of his album House Navior, the song lands independently but with Universal Music India in the fine print.

Clocking in at over four minutes, “Levels & Graphs” comes wrapped in a Goat Vision video where the visuals walk the tightrope between indulgence and melancholy like it’s just another Tuesday.

“Daytona” rides on Ikky’s slick production—bass, drums, piano, synthesizer, guitar—delivering a sound equal parts polished and street-casual.

Karan Aujla supplies the lyrics and vocals, sticking to what he knows: earned success, loyalty to crew, and minimal interest in hollow romance.

The tone stays sharp and self-assured, echoing the hustle-minded resolve of its protagonist without needing to raise its voice.

Pitched firmly within Punjabi youth culture, the track doesn’t chase trends—it parks itself, engine humming, and waits for you to catch up.

“Lethal Jatti” flips the usual script, putting Harpi Gill in control as a sharp-tongued jatti who doesn’t blink at Ferraris or bank accounts.

She sizes up the guy behind the wheel, brushing off the flashy ride with a smirk and a line about being “diamond-like.”

The real hook lies in her attitude—more street-smart than sweet, more challenge than conquest.

If he’s hoping to impress, he’ll need more than horsepower; she’s tuned to a frequency well beyond surface-level stunts.

The track struts with girl-power flair, doubling as a checklist of what not to try when meeting someone who plays by her own code.

In “Sprint,” released in September 2025, Navaan Sandhu dials up the tempo with a DIY flair—writing, composing, and teaming up with Jasmeen Akhtar for an all-fronts vocal effort.

The pair trade verses over JayB Singh’s beatwork, a polished slice of Punjabi pop meeting hip-hop, steered into final form by Daaku’s mix and Gurjit Thind’s mastering.

The lyrics keep their sneakers on—spirited declarations like “run as fast as you can” and “I roar like a lion” speak to persistence at full throttle.

Directed by Goat Vision, the video presumably mirrors the track’s all-gas-no-brakes energy, though not much else is on view.

Sandhu sticks to his formula: self-written hooks, production polish, and themes that run on resolve and attitude.

Released in July 2025 on Shubh Music, “Together” sees Shubhneet Singh—aka Shubh—handling writing, vocals, and composition.

The production comes courtesy of G-Funk and Sfinesse, keeping things rooted in his Punjabi-trap crossover style.

Its lyrics lean into the idea of real love and connection, with no detours into melodrama or manufactured sentiment.

Shubh’s path, which started in Brampton and accelerated after 2021’s “We Rollin,” now runs through both desi hip hop and international streaming feeds.

After *Still Rollin* and the single “Cheques” charting in India, Canada, and New Zealand, “Together” doesn’t exactly scream reinvention—but it doesn’t need to.
