Ayesha Omar’s ‘Har Koi Yaar Nahi’ aims to make you fall in love with yourself

From beautiful landscape shots of the Gilgit-Baltistan mountains to the clear icy blue lakes, the video is a dreamy vision for all nature enthusiasts. Taking to Instagram, the Tere Ishq Mein crooner shared the release of her new music alongside a heartfelt caption detailing the concept behind her recent work.

“When I was planning my October birthday trip to Gilgit-Baltistan, my favourite region in Pakistan, it dawned on me that I should document that trip in some way. Maybe a vlog I thought because I wanted to show the world, the magnificent beauty of my beloved country. But one night I decided to make a song and shoot the video there. What better place than Gilgit?” penned Omar.

She then went on note how Lenny Massey was the one who supported her throughout her musical journey and also collaborated with her on this track. Moving on, the Bulbulay actor revealed that the shooting for the music video took “two days in different locations.” Omar also disclosed that she herself would do her “own hair and makeup drive to locations, hike up and trek for hours, carrying clothes, water and snacks.”

Omar concluded her post by applauding her team’s efforts. “Thank you, all you amazing boys who have been a part of this production. I love you all. I hope you all fall in love with the song, your Creator, your country and most importantly, yourself,” she shared.

After Omar’s music video went viral, fans rushed to the comments section to sing praises of the starlet’s “angelic voice,” and the song’s “beautiful lyrics.” A fan wrote, “I love this! So proud of you for putting your voice out there — you sound like an angel btw and the lyrics are beautiful. Waiting for more!”

Another expressed their excitement at its release, “This is amazing and beautiful. Love the lyrics and song and everything. Couldn’t be prouder and more excited. Can’t stop listening to it.” And although majority of the listeners had nothing but praises for the Zindagi Gulzar Hai star, some felt that Omar had utilised “too much autotune” and the vocals did not measure up to the music.

“Director: How much autotune should we use? Singer: yes!” quipped an observer, while another believed that the lyrics lacked deeper meaning.

While fans may have their own opinions, the music video still holds the potential to win anyone over, whether it’s the wistful cinematography or the heartwarming lyrics, Omar has certainly taken on a different and refreshing route to her musical career.
