For a song that started as a Pakistani hit and turned into a chart monster across Pakistan, India and beyond, this is the moment fans have been waiting for. Here is everything we know so far.

Alan Walker x Alfaaz: Quick Facts

Alan Walker Lands in Lahore

News broke in the first week of November that Alan Walker was in Pakistan, and he did not keep it quiet. The English-Norwegian DJ was spotted enjoying a traditional halwa puri breakfast and visiting the Lahore Fort, and he shared glimpses of his trip on social media.

In a video shared by Giraffe Studios, Walker said he had just reached Lahore, found it beautiful, and was heading to the studio to work on some music. The clip described the project as “a dream collaboration”.

He then posted an Instagram story from the studio with Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib, saying it was a very productive day. Walker also teased a video with “more to come soon”, with Alfaaz playing in the background.

The Shawl, the Surprise and the Teasers

Hamza Malik added fuel to the fire. On his Instagram stories, he shared a picture of Alan Walker wearing a shawl with the word Alfaaz written on it in Urdu script, and hinted that there was another surprise on the way.

That surprise turned out to be the big one. According to SAMAA, Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib will release Alfaaz 2.0 featuring Alan Walker on 12 November.

Why Did Alan Walker Come to Pakistan?

According to SAMAA, Walker’s interest started with a local music video. He noticed a masked figure dressed in a style that looked a lot like his own famous hooded, masked look. That caught his attention and led him to Pakistan.

It is a great example of how music now travels. Global artists are finding their next collaborations on social media, not only through record label pitches.

How Alfaaz Became a Global Hit

The original Alfaaz by Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib has been one of the biggest Pakistani songs of 2026. Images Dawn reported its chart run:

• Genius: number 1 on the weekly music chart, ahead of tracks by Tate McRae, Eminem and Radiohead.
• Spotify: top spot on the daily charts in both Pakistan and India.
• Spotify Global: number 42 on the Top 50 Global list.
• UK: number 2 on the Official Asian Music Chart.

Giraffe Studios called the success unprecedented for a Pakistani song. It is the studio’s second chart-topper after Majboor by Sheheryar Rehan and Zoha Waseem, which also topped Spotify Pakistan and reached number 2 in India.

Who Are Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib?

Zain Zohaib is the brother duo of Zain Ali and Zohaib Ali, known for their soulful qawwali-inspired vocals. Many fans first noticed them on Coke Studio, including their energetic track Thagyan with Quratulain Balouch.

Hamza Malik joined them on Alfaaz, and together they built a song that connected with listeners far beyond Pakistan. Now they are sharing a track with one of electronic music’s biggest names.

Who Is Alan Walker?

Alan Walker is an English-Norwegian DJ and record producer, famous for his masked, hooded stage look and global hits like Faded and Alone. His melodic electronic sound has made him one of the most streamed EDM artists in the world, with a huge fan base in South Asia and the Middle East.

What Will Alfaaz 2.0 Sound Like?

The full track has not been released yet, so the exact sound is still under wraps. Based on Walker’s style, fans can expect his signature melodic electronic production blended with the vocals that made Alfaaz a hit.

Watch out for fake uploads. A YouTube video titled “Alan Walker & Hamza Ali, Zain Zohaib x Auren Scott – Alfaaz” is already circulating. It is posted by a third-party channel, not Alan Walker’s official channel. Wait for the official release on 12 November from the artists’ own accounts.

Why This Collab Is Big for Pakistani Music

Pakistani music has been crossing borders for a few years now. Pasoori showed the world what Pakistani artists can do, ranking on Spotify’s global charts, and partnerships like Spotify and Coke Studio helped bring local music to new listeners.

Alfaaz 2.0 takes that one step further. An international DJ is not only listening to Pakistani music but travelling to Lahore to create with Pakistani artists. For Gen Z listeners who grew up on both Faded and Coke Studio, this is the crossover they did not know they needed.
