"We tried to give you the best sound."
Singer Ali Haider has reemerged into the music scene with his latest single ‘Ijazat’, ending a silence that stretched close to ten years.
Released over the weekend, the track rapidly gathered momentum across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
Listeners praised its gentle composition and familiar vocal warmth.
Many long-time followers described the song as a reminder of the emotional clarity that once defined Pakistan’s vibrant pop landscape during the nineties era.
Haider personally addressed his audience online, writing: “Hello friends, ‘Ijazat’ song is here for you.
“We tried to give you the best sound. Me and my team would be glad if you like this effort.”
The accompanying music video was filmed and produced in Houston, Texas.
Viewers applauded the visual quality, polished performances and restrained storytelling.
They called the project a sincere artistic return rather than a recycled nostalgic attempt.
Supporters flooded comment sections with excitement, repeatedly noting how refreshing it felt to witness Ali Haider actively creating music.
The comeback holds deeper significance because the artist had remained largely absent from mainstream releases for almost an entire decade.
This renewed appearance also followed candid reflections he shared previously about the difficult circumstances that gradually pushed him away from Pakistan and professional music.
During a podcast conversation in 2025, Haider spoke about rising security threats and persistent extortion demands that created an unsafe environment for his household.
He revealed that intimidation forced his father to close a family printing business, while threatening calls began affecting his personal emotional stability.
Those turbulent years led him toward spiritual expression, where he found temporary solace through reciting Hamd, Naat and other forms of religious poetry.
According to his earlier statements, his mother eventually insisted he prioritise safety and leave the country in 2013.
He travelled to the United States on a concert visa initially, but gradually established residence while maintaining limited musical activity from afar.
With ‘Ijazat’, Ali Haider now appears optimistic, reconnecting with listeners who never truly abandoned his music.
The overwhelmingly positive reception suggests that despite years of silence, his voice still resonates strongly with audiences both inside Pakistan and overseas.
Observers noted that the restrained production and emotionally grounded delivery give the track a contemporary appeal while preserving his signature melodic identity.
Many believe this re-entry could open doors for further releases, collaborations and perhaps live performances.
