Time to update your playlists — Soch The Band has dropped a new song, ‘Mera Naam’, featuring actor Hira Mani and YouTuber Rahim Pardesi in the official video.

The music video, directed by Adnan Kandhar, released on Saturday, a day after the song was out on music platforms. Both a song you can dance to and enjoy sitting perfectly still, the video tells a story of heartbreak and karmic cycles.

Starring Mani, Pardesi and Aimal Khan as the leads in the plot, it begins with the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor turning the YouTuber’s proposal down because he can’t “afford” her. The story progresses and Mani is out with another man — Khan — at Soch’s live performance. Pardesi happens to be there too and when she sees him, she looks shocked and uncomfortable. She ignores him to focus on her new beau whose focus seems to dwindle onto other ladies and it’s clear that her new relationship may have given her a life of luxury but what was missing was loyalty.

At the end she sits on the staircase, in tears, and Pardesi walks up to her to say that he was supposed to die without her, which he didn’t, and she was supposed to thrive without her, which she didn’t, before driving away with his partner. The lens blurs with the completion of the karmic cycle.

Netizens on both sides of the border are vibing with the song and are hoping for more “power music” in the future.

A Soch the Band and Call Courier presentation, ‘Mera Naam’ has crossed 31,000 views on YouTube. It has been composed and produced by the band.
