Pakistan, November 12, 2026: Pakistani hit Alfaaz, performed by Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib, has entered a fresh phase with an official remix by internationally recognised DJ and producer Alan Walker and singer James Arthur.<\/p>\n
The new version, titled Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight), brings together different musical styles while retaining the identity of the original song, which has already travelled well beyond Pakistan\u2019s music market.<\/p>\n
Alfaaz has emerged as a major moment for Pakistani music. The song reached No. 1 on Spotify\u2019s daily charts in both Pakistan and India. It also became the only Pakistani song to reach No. 26 on Spotify\u2019s Daily Global Top Songs chart.<\/p>\n
The song\u2019s growing international reach has highlighted how music from Pakistan can connect with audiences across borders and create wider moments of recognition on global platforms.<\/p>\n
Alan Walker\u2019s association with Alfaaz and his arrival in Lahore have added further significance to the collaboration for the artists involved and for the creative network behind the project. The Relight version carries Walker\u2019s distinctive sound while keeping Hamza Malik, Zain Zohaib and the song\u2019s original character at the centre. James Arthur\u2019s vocals have also been added to the version.<\/p>\n
The collaboration reflects the increasing space for Pakistani music to connect with global artists and listeners. As music continues to move through streaming platforms, digital communities and different genres, projects such as Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight) create opportunities for songs rooted in Pakistan to be heard and reimagined internationally.<\/p>\n
For Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib, the new version extends the journey of a song that has already connected with listeners across markets. The track\u2019s appeal is rooted in their artistry, performance and the emotional bond it has built with audiences.<\/p>\n
The project also underlines the role of the creative ecosystem behind the song. Giraffe, led by Zulfiqar J. Khan (Xulfi) and CEO Muhammad Ibrahim, brings together artists, ideas and collaborators, helping create opportunities for Pakistani music to reach audiences beyond the country\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the journey of Alfaaz and the new collaboration, Hamza Malik said, \u201cAlfaaz has travelled further than we could have imagined and seeing Alan Walker connect with the song is an incredible feeling. We\u2019re excited for everyone to hear this new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zain Zohaib said the relight was an important creative moment for the artists. \u201cAlfaaz is incredibly special to us, and seeing it take on a new life through Alan Walker\u2019s relight is a truly exciting moment in our musical journey. As artists, we\u2019ve always believed in staying connected to our roots while exploring new sounds and creative possibilities. This collaboration represents exactly that a beautiful meeting of musical worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on Giraffe\u2019s role in bringing the collaboration together, Muhammad Ibrahim, CEO of Giraffe, said, \u201cGiraffe is an ecosystem, not just a label that supports artists and builds bridges to global audiences; this collaboration is an example of that purpose. Alfaaz shows what happens when that ecosystem works. Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib made a song people loved, listeners in Pakistan and India carried it across borders, and our job was to build on that momentum. That is what brought Alan Walker to Lahore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alan Walker said the song stood out to him when he first heard it. \u201cThe first time I heard Alfaaz, I knew the song had something special. Working with Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib and bringing my own sound to it has been an exciting creative experience. It\u2019s amazing to see music connect people across cultures, and I\u2019m happy to be part of this new chapter for Alfaaz. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it.\u201d<\/p>\n
James Arthur said he was honoured to feature on the new version. \u201cI was honoured to be approached to feature on this version of \u2018Alfaaz\u2019 especially having seen the impact the song has made and how it\u2019s connected in a really meaningful way with so many people. It\u2019s been great working with Alan on this and bringing a different dimension to the original, I\u2019m so stoked for people to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n
