With the announcement of this year’s PSL anthem artist lineup, you can bet that we are all waiting with bated breath for the song to drop. Faris Shafi, Shae Gill, and Asim Azhar will be singing on the unreleased track, and Abdullah Siddiqui will be producing the song.
This will be the second time Siddiqui will produce the official PSL anthem after last year’s Aagay Dekh featuring Atif Aslam and Aima Baig.
The PSL, Pakistan Super league announced its team of singers and we cannot wait for it to be played across the stadium. Let’s get ready for another outstanding PSL of 2023.

Agay Dekh, the anthem from last year, was a triumphant production, and Aslam finally gave the kind of performance befitting a singer of his stature.
It succeeds in its intended purpose of getting listeners up and moving to the beat, but it falls short of being an anthem in the same vein as Siddiqui’s previous Zalmi release, Kingdom. In spite of its flaws, the song stands out as a great example of modern pop and features the kind of aggressiveness that was missing from the previous PSL anthem, Groove Mera.
The HBL Pakistan Super League 8 will have matches played at four different locations between February 13 and March 19. The matches for the Multan and Karachi legs will be played from the 13th to the 26th of February. After that, the action will move to Lahore and Rawalpindi, where the remaining 20 matches will be played from the 26th to the 19th of March.
