Something new from British Asian singer, songwriter and producer Arjun

Check out something new from award winning British Asian singer, songwriter and producer Arjun. True to his unique style of fusing contemporary pop / R&B sounds with well known Bollywood hits, Arjun leaves his mark on the timeless ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’. The original is composed by the legendary AR Rahman and is taken from the 1998 film ‘Dil Se’. Arjun, who has amassed in excess of an incredible 19 million YouTube views on his channel, picked up the Best Urban Act accolade at last year’s Asian Music Awards and is managed by leading UK agency Crown Talent (Jessie J, Sugababes, Talvin Singh etc).

Chaiyya Chaiyya is a classic film song which I grew up listening to. It’s a timeless track and I wanted to try fusing it with a contemporary Western tune. I experimented in the studio and then decided to try splicing in elements of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”. To me the ‘east meets west’ fusion sounds fresh and hopefully the fans will enjoy it. I’m also excited about my first mainstream release, which will be out next month.

The video has already been viewed more than 60,000 times in 48 hours since release.

[toggle style=”closed” title=”Song Lyrics”] Girl you got my heartbeat running away
Beating like a drum and it’s coming your way
Can you hear that…

This one’s for the girls with booming system
Top down AC with the cooling system
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
When she come up in the club she be blazing up
Got stacks on deck like she saving up
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya

Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya

Girl you got my heartbeat running away
Beating like a drum and it’s coming your way
Can you feel that

Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya

You got me running around
Shutting me down
Girl you got me going in circles again
You got me out of my zone and
Hanging the phone up
Now my guitar’s my only friend

I called out to you but you didn’t care
How I feel for you – it’s a love so rare
This love’s a game which I always seem to lose

This one’s for the girls with booming system
Top down AC with the cooling system
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
Saare ishq ki chaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
When she come up in the club she be blazing up
Got stacks on deck like she saving up
Pau janat chale chal chaiyya chaiyya
Pau janat chale chal chaiyya

Girl you got my heartbeat running away
Beating like a drum and it’s coming your way
Can you feel that…
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom baby
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom baby yeah

Don’t let go of my hand
Cos you lift me up from out of the shadows
It’s time to shine your light
Just call my name from out of the shadows

Can you feel that
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom
Can you feel that
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom
Boom badoom boom yeah

Don’t let go of my hand
Cos you lift me up from out of the shadows
It’s time to shine your light
Just call my name from out of the shadows
