What Is Tere Sang and Why It Matters
On 7 February 2026 (Rose Day), Arijit Singh released “Tere Sang”, a romantic song that marks his first new track after announcing that he will no longer take on new playback singing assignments for Bollywood films.
The song is part of a short film titled Echoes of Us — directed by Joe Rajan and produced under Salman Khan Films Music — and features Iulia Vantur alongside actor Deepak Tijori. The track is sung as a duet by Arijit and Iulia, with lyrics penned by Iulia herself.
