The track Clash musically produced by The Kidd and written by Raj Ranjodh boasts a hip hop flavour mixed with a front-loaded Punjabi beat which works nicely with the lyrics and the chorus ‘Jatt naal Clash karde’.

Navi Navi Yaari is the second song produced by Desi Crew and it is written by Rony Ajnali and Gill Machhrai. With a reggae-inspired beat and music chops, Diljit sings the song which is about a new relationship and its hypnotising effect.

Destined to be one of the most popular songs of the album, Peed immediately grabs attention for its wonderful traditional sound, beautiful lyrics by Raj Ranjodh and music by Gupz Sehra. The song has a ‘Sajna Ve Sajna’ Gurdas Maan feel to it but with its own unique new identity.

Taare produced musically by Intence with a nice laid back beat and music, and written by Happy Raikoti, is a lovely song about how a guy thinks his loved interest and gazes at the stars counting them, thinking of her.

Featuring the vocals of Nimrat Khaira, musically produced by Desi Crew and written by Laadi Chahal is the track Track Suit. The duet has a traditional boliyan flavour which highlights the love-struck exchanges of a girl smitten with a tracksuit wearing love interest.

The song Faraar unleashes Diljit on a hip hop beat and music by YoungStarr Pop Boy with lyrics by Ranbir Singh. The song has a romantic flavour which is sung with the voice of a woman admirer whose heart is stolen.

Desi Crew make their next musical appearance on Jatti with the lyrics of Shree Brar. A dhol laden track which has a romantic touch reveals how the ‘Jatti’ would make the efforts to appeal to her man and even if introduced to his mother!

Akh Laal Jatt Di with music by Ikwinder Singh and lyrics by Amrit Maan emphasises the vigour, swag and habits of a ‘Jatt’ and how he will woo his love interest.

When it comes to a different type of songs on the album, Pyaar is one of them. A melodic number with lyrics by D Harp and music by Mr Rubal, the song has a Bollywood feel and is sung with the great emotion of a female love song. Poetry at the end of the song is a beautiful finish.

Habit is the second song on the album musically produced by The Kidd, which features the lyrics of Manjinder Brar. The song evokes the cultural habit of Punjabi men who love their drink. Especially, the ‘Jatt’ caste who are known for their obsession with the delights of alcohol. The tune of the song is very traditional sounding.

The song Range has a delightful expression of a woman’s loss penned in the soulful lyrics by Shree Brar and is musically decorated by Black Virus on G.O.A.T.

Patola featuring the vocals of Kaur B is a traditional Chamkila sounding duet led by a tumbi sound but with a very modern finish. Music by Deep Jandhu and lyrics by Shree Brar is a great combination for the song.

From a song like Peed, Diljit changes the gear to Whiskey to an edgier beat. With music by Desi Crew and lyrics by Laadi Chahal, the song compares the intoxication of a girl to a peg of whiskey.

Desi Crew are behind the music on Born To Shine as their fourth track on G.O.A.T. Penned by Amrit Maan, the upbeat song expresses how the ‘Jatt’ differentiates himself from the others, not bothered about money but simply born to shine.

Reflecting back on the journey of G.O.A.T. Diljit said:

“The past few months have helped me re-connect with my first love, my music and this album is an expression of gratitude to all of my fans.”

His songs in 2019, achieved 967 million views combined on YouTube, so Diljit is determined to make 2020 another memorable one. 

On the Bollywood acting side, Diljit’s movie releases Shaada and Good News broke box office records in 2019. 

His unique presence at Madame Tussauds in London along with his charm and persona led to a Twitter exchange between him and Ivanka Trump in March 2020.

The album G.O.A.T. launched on July 30, 2020, and is available on reputable audio platforms for legal downloading and streaming including Spotify.

Ten songs from the album reached the top 50 on Spotify India within two days and it has surpassed achievements of some Bollywood film soundtracks.
