Alan Walker and James Arthur join Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib for a new version of one of Pakistan’s biggest recent hits
Alan Walker and James Arthur have teamed up with Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib for Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight), a new version of one of Pakistan’s biggest recent hits. Released in July 2026, the original reached No. 26 on Spotify’s Global Daily Top Songs and topped charts in India and Pakistan. It also spread widely across social media. The new version adds Alan Walker’s production touches and James Arthur’s vocals while keeping the qawwali and Sufi influences of the original at its core.
The Original Track’s Success and Alan Walker’s Involvement
Beyond its chart performance, fans featured Alfaaz in more than 1 million Instagram Reels and around 2.4 million TikTok posts. Alan Walker’s involvement began through an unexpected detail in the original music video, where a masked figure looked similar to the mask he wears on stage.
The reference caught Alan Walker’s attention and led him to connect with Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib online. He later travelled to Lahore to work with them directly.
