Pasoori

Music producer Abdullah Siddiqui noted that the song is a mix of various cultural influences: "you get to listen to a little bit of the classical tune of a rubab along with a modern reggaetón beat."{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022-02-08 |title=People are "obsessed" with new Coke studio song "Pasoori" |url=https://www.aajentertainment.tv/news/30278069 |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=Aajentertainment.tv |language=en}} Shae Gill was discovered by composer Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan through Instagram where she regularly posted cover versions of various songs.{{Cite web |date=2022-02-10 |title=Coke Studio's 'Pasoori' - A Musical Masterpiece |url=https://matrixmag.com/coke-studios-pasoori-a-musical-masterpiece/ |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=Matrix Mag |language=en-US}} In an interview, Gill stated: "Coke Studio producer Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (Xulfi) found my Instagram page and checked out my singing. He liked my songs and later contacted me via direct message, saying, 'I want you to sing for Coke Studio.' The rest is history."

In addition to the lead vocalists and musicians, the music video of the song also features Pakistani social activist and Bharatanatyam exponent Sheema Kirmani. In a text message to Sethi, Kirmani shared that while conceptualizing her dance movements for the song, she "did not want to go along the line of literal depiction of words, but [instead] felt that the movements should be abstract but suggestive of the emotions contained within the song and music."

Sethi shared in an interview that the inspiration for the song came to him as he was driving from Faisalabad to Lahore and noticed a quote in Punjabi on the back of a jingle truck that said "aag lavaan teri majbooriyan nu" ({{Translation|set fire to your worries}} and compulsions).{{Cite web |last=Mattoo |first=Priyanka |date=2022-05-09 |title=The Pop Song That's Uniting India and Pakistan |url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-pop-song-thats-uniting-india-and-pakistan |access-date=2022-05-09 |website=newyorker.com |language=en-US}} He mentions that he was struck by these words: "I felt that this was such an amazing expression of the Punjabi language.

Sethi revealed that "Pasoori" took around one year to develop and that his goal was to infuse "the Turkic, Indic, Arab, Persian, and...the global placeless, ubiquitous 'beats' vibe that is also our inheritance."{{Cite web |date=2022-02-17 |title=It took us a whole year to make Pasoori: Ali Sethi |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/2343980/it-took-us-a-whole-year-to-make-pasoori-but-we-created-a-hybrid-new-genre-ali-sethi |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=The Express Tribune |language=en}} He noted that the folk and classical musical traditions the song draws from — including Sufi and qawwali — have centuries-long origins and therefore could not be classified as either Indian or Pakistani.{{Cite web |last=Baloch |first=Shah Meer |date=2022-05-13 |title=Global hit Pasoori opens doors for Pakistani pop |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/13/global-hit-pasoori-opens-doors-for-pakistani-pop |access-date=2022-05-13 |website=theguardian.com |language=en}} Sethi has also shared that he sent the initial tune for the song on a voice note to composer Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan,{{Cite web |date=2022-03-10 |title=Ali Sethi and Shae Gill's 'Pasoori' rules Spotify global charts |url=https://dailytimes.com.pk/898526/ali-sethi-and-shae-gills-pasoori-rules-spotify-global-charts/ |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=Daily Times |language=en-US}} and that the lyrics of the song were not finalized until about 12 hours before the recording.

Sethi contends that the word "pasoori" is deliberately ambiguous and difficult to translate and that the song is about "the bittersweet-ness of unrequited love, the Wabi-Sabi in art or the strange joy one sometimes finds in melancholy, Pasoori is all this. It speaks of anguish, art, music and passion, and how all of these can be uplifting, transformative even." Sethi has shared that while writing the song, he drew from the Punjabi folk songs that he grew up listening to which allowed him to infuse the lyrics with "puns and double entendres — a nice way to slip in and subvert orthodox views without really appearing to be out beyond the veil."

"Pasoori" was conceptualized as a fusion of pop and folk music, combining "poetic tradition with global beats."{{Cite web |title=Pakistani singer Ali Sethi wows Coachella crowd with Pasoori |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/18/pakistani-singer-ali-sethi-wows-coachella-crowd-with-pasoori |access-date=2023-04-18 |website=www.aljazeera.com |language=en}} Sethi has mentioned that the song blends raga and reggaeton — a sound which he describes as "ragaton" — and notes that it was designed to feel warm and familiar, asserting that "it makes one feel good." Sethi claimed that with "Pasoori," he wanted to create a song "that represents our culture but does dialog with the world" to show that "it is possible to be local and also be global...to be completely rooted and to be completely open and free."{{Citation |title=Interview of Ali Sethi {{!}} Coke Studio Season 14 {{!}} Ghazi Taimoor | date=8 February 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMJB_5e1O_Y |language=en |access-date=2022-05-13}}

According to a Coke Studio press release, Sethi began writing and composing "Pasoori" at a time when Pakistani artists were barred from working across the border in India, which led to a sense of frustration and anguish.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022-02-09 |title='Pasoori' by Coke Studio hits more than 1 million views |url=https://cutacut.com/2022/02/09/coke-studio-pasoori-ali-sethi-and-shae-gill/ |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=cutacut.com |language=en-US}} In response, Sethi stated that he "wanted to write a song that was sort of a flower bomb hurled at nationalism and heteropatriarchy...with all the fun innuendos and all this camp energy."{{Cite web |last=Donaldson |first=Maggy |date=17 April 2023 |title=Ali Sethi's infectious hit 'Pasoori' reverberates from Pakistan to Coachella |url=https://sg.news.yahoo.com/ali-sethis-infectious-hit-pasoori-001600196.html |access-date=2023-04-18 |website=Yahoo News |language=en-SG}} Consistent with his musical style of challenging norms and voicing dissent,{{Cite web |date=2020-04-21 |title=Ali Sethi: Who doesn't want to sing for Hindi films, but now is apparently a bad time |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/ali-sethi-pakistani-singer-songwriter-hindi-film-music-6372422/ |access-date=6 May 2022 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}} Sethi shared that his objective with "Pasoori" was to make a statement on the "free movement of ideas and melodies through a song," turning angst into art, and celebrating artistic self-expression in a world where "borders and boundaries of all sorts have become more rigid." Sethi asserted: "I might not have been able to travel to India, but I knew my music could." The YouTube description of the song reads: "Let's transcend boundaries and bridge distances through compassion, love, and identity."{{Cite web |last=Tahir |first=Sameer |date=2022-02-08 |title=Coke Studio 14: Fans are loving Ali Sethi and Shae Gill's new track called 'Pasoori' |url=https://pk.mashable.com/entertainment/14939/coke-studio-14-fans-are-loving-ali-sethi-and-shae-gills-new-track-called-pasoori |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=Mashable Pakistan |language=en-pk}}{{Citation |title=Coke Studio {{!}} Season 14 {{!}} Pasoori {{!}} Ali Sethi x Shae Gill | date=7 February 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eqb_-j3FDA |language=en |access-date=2022-05-07}} In its description of the song, The New Yorker stated: "'Pasoori' is ostensibly about star-crossed lovers, but it’s also an apt metaphor for the relationship between two countries in perpetual conflict whose histories and cultural touchstones are entwined."

Song producer Abdullah Siddiqui described "Pasoori" as belonging to "a groundbreaking new hybrid genre" and as "one of the most modern tracks" of Coke Studio Season 14. The song features musical instruments ranging from electronic drums and synths to acoustic guitars and the bağlama and mandolin.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022 |title=Season 14 Song Six: Pasoori |url=https://www.cokestudio.com.pk/season14/pasoori.html |access-date=2022-05-07 |website=cokestudio.com.pk}} Within the traditional framework of South Asian ragas, the song incorporates "Turkish strings, flamenco-style claps and the four-four Latino reggaeton beats..."

In an interview with The Harvard Crimson, when asked to reflect on the viral popularity of the song, Sethi stated: "It's like some of the Punjabi limericks I learned as a kid, which were half-nonsensical, but kind of magical...They were built on themselves, and became these fabulous myths with the head of one thing and the tail of another.

Ali described the set as "a communal space where artists can celebrate humanity "through not just ethnicity, but also variety in emotion, style and spirituality." Video director Kamal Khan was lauded for "celebrating communal spirit by showing different emotions, styles, and spirituality" and for sending "a message of inclusion" through each character in the video. Sethi, who conceived the idea for the video, stated: "It's a chimera: where one is many and many is one. It's like an acid trip. I really wanted to gesture at this mystical strain of South Asian artwork and philosophy, because that part of our ancestral culture can engage in a fruitful dialogue with contemporary discourse."

In its review of the song, The New Yorker stated: "The song is stealthily subversive: a traditional raga — the classical Indian framework for musical improvisation — has been laid over an infectious beat that sounds South Asian, Middle Eastern, and, improbably, reggaetón, all at once." Describing the song as a "global hit," The Guardian stated: "the song has been heralded for transcending boundaries, particularly between India and Pakistan, continuing a long tradition of culture uniting the two countries where politics always failed." Writing for The National, Mariam Nihal contended that "the track embraces unity in diversity as it features Pakistani dancer and activist Sheema Kermani performing bits of a Bharatnatyam, an Indian dance. The Turkish baglama (string instrument) features in the video while Shae Gill, who's from the Christian community, is joined by Sethi, a Muslim, as they sing in Punjabi, a language spoken in both India and Pakistan."
