India, 15th July: Global streaming juggernaut Guru Randhawa is pushing creative boundaries with the release of his highly anticipated new single, ‘SIX’. Releasing today across all major streaming platforms, the track marks a significant milestone in Randhawa’s career, serving as his official foray into the world of hip-hop. Shifting gears from his usual commercial Punjabi pop formula, ‘SIX’ is a hard-hitting Punjabi-hip-hop fusion track that captures the raw essence of winning against all odds.
Adding to the track’s heavy-hitting energy, ‘SIX’ reunites Randhawa with his long–term creative collaborator, Kiran Bajwa. Known for their seamless artistic chemistry, the duo has previously set charts ablaze with massive hits like ‘Sirra’ from the critically acclaimed ‘Without Prejudice’ album and the blockbuster single ‘SHKINI’. Their history of turning out high-energy anthems continues to evolve here, with Bajwa’s distinct vocals and melodic sensibilities providing the perfect counter-balance to Randhawa’s groundbreaking vocal delivery.
For over a decade, multi-platinum Indian singer, songwriter, and composer has ruled the global charts with massive hits like ‘High Rated Gabru’, ‘Patola’ and ‘Lahore’. However, ‘SIX’ represents an intentional sonic rebirth. Rather than completely abandoning his roots, Randhawa masterfully weaves traditional Punjabi lyrical flow with the heavy 808 basslines, crisp trap snares and fast-paced cadences inherent to western hip-hop music.
Guru Randhawa states, “I’ve always loved hip-hop culture, but I wanted to blend it authentically with our native Punjabi vibe. ‘SIX’ is about hitting it out of the park. It’s about the grind, the focus and the mindset it takes to stay at the top. Having Kiran Bajwa back on a track with me made this sonic shift feel natural. We’ve built a specific musical trust and this track represents the next step in our collaborative journey.”
Lyrically, ‘SIX’ is an unapologetic celebration of victory, resilience and self-belief. The title itself serves as a dual metaphor for hitting a maximum scoring shot in cricket and operating at a higher gear of success. The song dives deep into the realities of the hustle dismissing the noise, overcoming setbacks and maintaining an unwavering focus on the prize. It is designed to be a universal anthem for anyone striving to achieve greatness.
Acclaimed Punjabi vocalist Kiran Bajwa’s contribution adds a layer of infectious energy to the track, offering a smooth, anthemic chorus that perfectly bridges Randhawa’s fiery verses.
Kiran Bajwa states, “When Guru Randhawa and I first started working on the concept for ‘SIX,’ we knew we wanted something that felt both gritty and triumphant. Our past collaborations were about lifestyle and energy, but this one is about pure drive. It’s a side of Guru his fans haven’t seen before and it’s meant for anyone out there who is winning.”
The release of ‘SIX’ is accompanied by a cinematic, high-concept music video that mirrors the track’s opulent yet underground aesthetic. Filmed with a sleek, neo-noir look, the visuals contrast high-fashion urban streetwear with intense performance-driven setups, capturing the fast-paced momentum of the song.
‘SIX’ released via Warner Music India is now available worldwide on all major streaming platforms.
