“I think it’s a great step for me as an Indian artist. This is my first international collaboration and I am glad that Eric, KSHMR and I got to work together. I love their music. I have been a huge fan of KSHMR ever since he was a part of the band The Cataracs. He has made quite a few huge hits such as ‘Like A G6’. And Eric Nam is a brilliant artist. Imagine three Asians artists coming together!,” Malik told Gulf News.
