    Anand Raaj Anand drops heartbreaking track “Tu Juda Ho Gaya” by Adnan Ahmad

    Mumbai: Heartbreaks end our happiness, or restart our life! Separation either kills or creates will. Rising star Adnan Ahmad and the iconic Anand Raaj Anand bring us a song that talks about moving on and making something of ourselves after a heartbreak. II Music’s ‘Tu Juda Ho Gaya’ is the perfect track to rebuild after the painful end of a relationship.

    ‘Tu Juda Ho Gaya’ begins with the sorrow of separation, and slowly transitions to a powerful theme of seeking inspiration from your pains. With lyrics like ‘Harr sitam tera mujhpe karam ho gaya’, the song conveys that not all love stories have happy endings, but one should not get trapped in a web of sadness because of an unpleasant end.

    Beautifully penned by Anand Raaj Anand and Ssamudra and sung with nuance by Adnan Ahmad, ‘Tu Juda Ho Gaya’ is a must hear. What makes the song special is its message of healing from the pain rather than obsessing over a breakup.

    A singer, composer, lyricist and multiple award winning music maestro, Anand Raaj Anand has an eclectic collection of chartbusting songs to his name. The multi-talented maverick has composed memorable tunes for films like Kaante, Musafir, Shootout at Lokhandwala and many such superhits.

    A promising name in the Indian music circuit, Adnan Ahmad is the proud recipient of Young Achievers Award and Radio City Super Singer 2018. The vibrant singer has garnered an ardent fan base over the years, and is famous for his rousing voice that is powerful yet unique.

    ‘Tu Juda Ho Gaya’ also boasts of a bittersweet music video. Featuring actors Wafi Taraky and Bipasha Biswas, the video depicts the pain a lover goes through before dusting old memories off and stepping up in life. He yearned for support, for a reciprocal love. He yearned for a love that was unconditional and unwavering, one that would stand the test of time and weather any storm. But with each unreturned gesture, his love becomes a painful burden, a constant reminder of his sacrificed happiness. Shot and directed by Kuber & Sujeet Mahto, the music video acts as a searing reflection of the song.

    Talking about the song, Anand Raaj Anand said, “Tu Juda Ho Gaya is a tune that many of us will relate to. May it be today’s youth or a more seasoned generation, everyone has gone through heartbreaks that tested our resilience. It’s a universal anthem for anyone who has loved and lost, for those who have poured their soul into a connection that ultimately left them empty. It’s a song of anger, of acceptance, and ultimately, of finding the strength to walk away, leaving the shattered pieces behind.

    Sharing his thoughts on the tune, Adnan Ahmad said, “Tu Juda Ho Gaya is not just a song, but a soulful message about moving on from heartbreak at the right time. I had the time of my life working on this track. The opportunity to collaborate with Anand Raaj Anand sir on a platform as big as II Music was the cherry on top”.

    Talking about their latest release, II Music founder Rohit Sobti said, “II Music provides a platform to all kinds of talents to connect, collaborate and create.
