Titled Hum Zalmi featuring the Leo Twins, the song starts with a slow rock beat of the guitar and the drums.

And wait, there's a cello! In a rock song? For an anthem? MIND =  BLOWN. And is that Xulfi playing the guitar while hitting the drums simultaneously? What kind of sorcery is this? Thirty seconds into the song and it's bound to take your breath away.

Khan, Abbasi and Riaz seem to shake a leg together as well - quite literally. Akmal is seen stomping his feet to the beat as well.
