Pakistani pop-rock band MIRAGE [#MirageTheBand] releases the eighth track, a disco-pop number, Ziddi Aashiq, from their second album, Doosri Dastak.
Ziddi Aashiq is a stubborn lover announcing his careless and carefree one sided love for someone who doesn’t even know about his existence. The music was composed back in 2016 by Saad Hayat and Bradley D’Souza, who also features on lead-guitars in the track.
“I bounced it off [the composition] with Rehan and asked him to write some ‘I don’t care, I can move on’ type of lyrics. To my surprise, Rehan composed and wrote some crazy psycho lover lyrics and we called it Ziddi Aashiq” said Saad Hayat.
The video was shot live at Saad Hayat’s studio, with a classic 70s look & a disco setup! This was part of the 2-day video shoot when the band shot 6 music videos in 48 hours.
