Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala's posthumous release 'Barota' has shattered records, amassing 2.2 million views within the first three hours of its release on YouTube. The song, which was dropped on his official channel, has garnered over 7 million likes and a flood of comments from fans who have continued to follow his music since his tragic death in 2022. The four-minute track, produced by The Kid Studio, began climbing the charts rapidly as soon as it went live, with over 200,000 likes in the first ten minutes. By the third hour, the comments section had reached 5 million, with fans sharing their thoughts and reactions to the song. Lyrically, 'Barota' features familiar themes and imagery that Moosewala often used in his earlier work, including village references, swagger-coded comparisons, and descriptions rooted in rural Punjab. The song also touches on themes of youth, pride, and physical strength, alongside a narrative built on attraction and rivalry. Some fans have pointed out mentions of weapons in the track, which had been a subject of criticism during Moosewala's lifetime. However, the song appears to take a shift towards abandoning weapons for love, a message that fans have already picked up on in the comment threads. In addition to the main video, a behind-the-scenes clip was released on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into the final preparations for the song. The clip triggered a wave of comments, with many fans counting down to the full rollout. 'Barota' is Moosewala's ninth posthumous release since his death on May 29, 2022. His family has continued to mark milestones attached to his work and memory, including the release of the three-song album 'Moose Print' earlier this year, which crossed the 100-million-view mark within four months. The level of interest in Moosewala's music remains high, with fan activity around each new upload suggesting that the singer's legacy continues to endure.
