Nora Fatehi And Shilpa Rao Bring High-octane Energy To Their Festive New Track, Ya Baba

Nora Fatehi and Shilpa Rao have marked World Music Day with Ya Baba, a new T-Series track built around celebration, dance and cross-cultural sound. Released on 21 June, the song brings together Fatehi as performer and vocalist, Rao as the lead musical force, and veteran actor Rakesh Bedi in a festive music video designed as a lavish screen spectacle.

Presented by T-Series and Bhushan Kumar, Ya Baba leans into Arabic-inspired rhythms, big set pieces and a wedding-style celebratory mood. The track has been sung by Nora Fatehi and Shilpa Rao, composed by Sanjoy, and written by Nora Fatehi, Sanjoy and Vayu. Its music video is now streaming on the T-Series YouTube channel, while the song is available on major audio platforms.

Ya Baba brings Nora Fatehi back to a high-energy dance space

For Nora Fatehi, Ya Baba fits into the performance-led musical space that has shaped much of her screen identity. The video places her at the centre of a colourful celebration, using elaborate décor, group choreography and rhythmic movement to build the song’s visual appeal. Her dance performance has been choreographed by Alisha Singh.

The track also gives Fatehi a vocal role, adding another layer to her presence in the song. Rather than appearing only as the face of the video, she contributes to the singing and writing credits as well. That positioning is important for an artiste who has increasingly tried to balance dance, music and global pop styling in her work.

Ya Baba uses its Arabic influences as a key part of its sound and staging. The track does not rely only on a hook step or glamour-led framing. It is structured like a festive anthem, with vocals, rhythm and visuals working together to create an accessible party mood for a wide audience.

Shilpa Rao adds vocal weight to the festive track

Shilpa Rao’s presence gives Ya Baba a strong playback identity. Known for her distinctive voice and emotional control, Rao brings depth to a song that could otherwise have remained limited to its visual scale. Her vocals help anchor the composition while still allowing the track to remain upbeat and dance-friendly.

The pairing of Rao and Fatehi is one of the more notable aspects of the release. Rao’s voice carries the song’s melodic strength, while Fatehi’s performance style gives it a visual and international-pop texture. That contrast helps Ya Baba stand apart from routine dance singles released around promotional occasions.

World Music Day is an apt release window for a track built around blended sounds. Celebrated globally on 21 June, the day is often used by artistes and labels to highlight music’s ability to cross language and cultural borders. Ya Baba taps into that idea with its mix of Indian pop production, Arabic colour and mainstream Hindi music-video presentation.

Rakesh Bedi adds familiarity to the music video

Rakesh Bedi’s appearance gives the video an unexpected warmth. The veteran actor is shown as part of the celebration, joining the festive environment rather than appearing as a detached cameo. His presence broadens the video’s appeal and adds a familiar face for viewers across age groups.

Bedi has long been associated with comic timing and an easy screen charm. In Ya Baba, that quality is used to soften the scale of the production. Amid the choreography, lights and stylised visuals, his appearance gives the video a more relaxed and family-friendly energy.

The music video has been directed by Adil Shaikh, who frames the song as a grand celebration. The visual treatment uses rich colours, festive styling and crowded dance moments to support the track’s central idea of togetherness. The result is clearly aimed at both streaming audiences and short-form video discovery.

Why Ya Baba fits the current music-video moment

Indian music videos have increasingly become standalone entertainment products, not just promotional extensions of films. Ya Baba follows that trend by combining a star performer, a recognised playback voice, a veteran actor and a high-gloss production setup. The song is built for repeat viewing as much as casual listening.

The release also reflects T-Series’ continued focus on non-film singles led by known faces. For entertainment platforms, such songs often travel beyond traditional music audiences because they offer dance, fashion, celebrity presence and social media-friendly moments within one package.

For listeners, the appeal of Ya Baba will likely depend on its hook, rhythm and visual recall. For viewers, Fatehi’s choreography and Rao’s vocals are the main draws, while Bedi’s presence adds a lighter touch. The song’s festive tone makes it suitable for playlists built around dance, celebration and party music.

Ya Baba arrives as a polished World Music Day release with a clear focus: to celebrate music as a shared experience. With Nora Fatehi leading the screen energy, Shilpa Rao giving the track vocal strength, and Rakesh Bedi adding charm, the song positions itself as a colourful, cross-cultural addition to India’s non-film music space.
