If you’re searching for that grand, glittering and punchy noise that Coke Studio is frequently related to, singer-songwriter Anuv Jain and Lost Stories’ Rishab Joshi aren’t truly about that on “Arz Kiya Hai.” Rather, the tune from Coke Studio Bharat season 3 is a downplayed ode to poets in love that leans on Jain’s noticeably tender vocals.
Launched on Aug. 20, 2025, “Arz Kiya Hai” has actually accumulated over 1.9 million views on YouTube and over a million streams on Spotify in less than a week. At its core, Jain having a goes at singing adaptability while likewise including an instrument like a harmonium (played by Joshi) for the very first time. Jain pens a tune that, in a spirited, perhaps self-deprecating method, admires Urdu poetry’s greats, consisting of Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Mirza Ghalib, and more.
Jain informs Wanderer India over a video call, “The lead character [of the song] understands he’s not even near Faiz nor Mirza and confesses that he’s not a professional, however simply a regular individual who fell in love and has actually now become a poet.” He conjured up the poets that he understands are “actually the standards when you think of poets, shayars and shayaris” Jain includes, “It’s a little bit of humor in the middle that I’m no place near these guys, however take a look at what I’m doing. I’m escape of my depth, however I’m still here. I’m still composing for you due to the fact that I love you.”
Jain composed the track in a period of 20 days and after that established it even more with Lost Stories’Joshi, with whom Jain has actually long been pals. Having very first appreciated Lost Stories as a fan thanks to their 2023 electronic-fusion EP Marigold Soundsystem (” I really believe that’s one of the very best musical pieces out there,”Jain states ), the singer-songwriter felt that Joshi’s production touch might raise the concept he had for “Arz Kiya Hai.” Jain states, “We practically constructed the whole soundscape for the tune. I remained in Spain at that time, and I was listening to it, however I was informing him [Joshi] that, ‘Bro, there’s something missing out on. I do not understand what, however there’s simply, like this one component missing out on.'”
When the artist was back from the vacation, he took a seat with Joshi and states it took about 5 minutes to find out that they desired a harmonium in the tune. Joshi imitated the harmonium on his studio equipment, and Jain was encouraged that it was now sounding “impressive.”
Like numerous Indian artists, Jain states he constantly thought about a Coke Studio Bharat tune to be on his desire list. “Saying it was on my container list would be an understatement. This was the primary thing on my list. I’ve lastly examined it and wish to examine it a number of more times in my life time.”
Was he intimidated by the discography that had provided the music job its appeal and countless fans? He points out tunes like”Madari”( by Clinton Cerejo, Vishal Dadlani and Sonu Kakkar),” Ki Banu Duniya Da” (Gurdas Maan with Diljit Dosanjh)and” Khalasi “(Aditya Gadhvi and Achint )as his favorites, even including a shoutout to the most recent season’s Haryanvi tune “Ishq Bawla” by hip-hop artist Dhanda Nyoliwala and Xvir Grewal. For “Arz Kiya Hai,” Jain states he didn’t have to make “too lots of modifications.” He discusses, “There is constantly a structure that Coke Studio works within, and there are stated guidelines and some unspoken guidelines. I comprehend there’s something to it.”
Attempting to fit within the Coke Studio Bharat sonic visual is what resulted in aspects like the harmonium sensation right in the house in the tune, together with Jain handling harkats (singing tunes) in the tune. “There’s likewise a sargam [vocal harmonies] in the middle, which Sarthak Kalyani did, and he did such a fantastic task. It was simply attempting to discover a great balance in between what I like to do and what Coke Studio stands for,” he includes.
” Arz Kiya Hai “is a very first of sorts for Jain, however it likewise follows another initially– the artist’s partnership with Punjabi-Canadian star AP Dhillon on “Afsos “previously this year, which ended up being a chart-topper. Ask Jain if he ever feels intimidated by these brand-new courses of cooperations and various tune formats, and he’s fast to react. “I believe my life is intimidating all the time. I’m simply constantly worried, and I’m constantly stressed, due to the fact that I do appreciate what I do, and certainly I wish to offer individuals something that they like, however I likewise do not wish to jeopardize on what I wish to do, so that it’s extremely hard to discover that balance also,” he states.
The reality that “Afsos” went to the top of the streaming charts in the nation and his 2024 single “Jo Tum Mere Ho” was amongst the most-streamed tunes of that year is peace of mind enough for Jain. “I wished to simply experiment this year a bit more and simply see if I can provide individuals something a little various from what I normally do, and [see] whether they accept it or not,” he includes.
To that end, Jain guarantees that his next tune will be “a bit various too.” He states, “I believe those huge turning points offered me the guts to attempt something various, a minimum of this year. This is a really transformational year for me, that method.”
