The release has sparked a range of reactions online, including humorous and supportive comments.

One blogger praised the song as a reflection of employees’ struggles, while others described Al Kharji’s effort as a meaningful response to their concerns.

Al Kharji has recently been focusing on short musical clips shared on social media.

His style, which he refers to as “rock music” adapted to Kuwaiti culture, has gained both praise and criticism. He has previously mentioned avoiding reading comments on social media due to negative feedback.

The new fingerprint system requires public sector employees in Kuwait to verify their presence at work three times a day, which has sparked mixed reactions among the workforce.
