Yo Yo Honey Singh has officially kicked off the promotional campaign for his upcoming mega album Glorious Days by revealing crucial details about the first track — Mafia. While the full audio or teaser hasn’t dropped yet, the unveiling of the poster and some behind-the-scenes info has already set the internet buzzing.
The first major confirmation is that Mafia is performed solely by Honey Singh himself, with no featured artist, and the music video features Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri. What adds more weight is that Teji Sandhu is directing the music video, bringing a wave of excitement to fans who had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Mihir Gulati’s direction style in earlier releases.
Unrevealed Yet Anticipated: Who Wrote the Lyrics?
As of now, Honey Singh has not officially disclosed the lyricist for Mafia. This mystery has triggered speculation among fans.
Industry insiders and long-time listeners believe there are two strong possibilities:
| Likely Lyricist | Reason |
|---|---|
| Leo Grewal | Has been a frequent collaborator of Honey Singh, known for penning aggressive, stylish bars |
| Yo Yo Honey Singh | Given his involvement in personal tracks and lead singles, there’s a high chance he wrote this one himself |
Until a full credits list is published, this remains an open guess.
Music Video: Teji Sandhu Steps In Again
Teji Sandhu’s involvement has stirred excitement in the fanbase. Many had expressed a desire for better direction after some mixed reactions to Mihir Gulati’s recent work. Sandhu, known for his sleek visuals and well-crafted cinematic storytelling, had earlier directed the first track of Honey Singh’s previous blockbuster album Glory — Millionaire, which also released on August 26.
This coincidence is not lost on fans, as it seems Honey Singh is recreating the successful rollout strategy of Glory for Glorious Days.
| Track | Director | Release Date |
|---|---|---|
| Millionaire (from Glory) | Teji Sandhu | August 26, 2023 |
| Mafia (from Glorious Days) | Teji Sandhu | Expected: August 26, 2025 |
Visual Presence: Nargis Fakhri in a Gangster World
While the track may not feature another rapper or singer, the visuals bring in star power. Nargis Fakhri will appear in the music video, and early stills and social media impressions suggest an intense gangster aesthetic. Honey Singh’s look has also been described as “deadly” by fans, with his rugged styling matching the Mafia theme perfectly.
Photos circulating online show Honey Singh styled in high-contrast lighting with urban, streetwear fashion — suggesting a gritty, cinematic video rooted in underground culture.
Album Release Speculations and Label Details
While no official record label has been confirmed yet for Glorious Days, all signs point towards T-Series as the likely platform. The label has been Honey Singh’s primary distributor for years.
The biggest highlight of this album remains its ambitious format — 51 songs releasing in a single day. This is expected to happen on August 26, 2025, marking a historic moment in Indian music history.
| Album Title | Number of Songs | Expected Release | Label (Tentative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glorious Days | 51 | August 26, 2025 | T-Series |
Collaborations are also expected across multiple tracks, although Mafia itself is a solo outing by Singh.
Final Thoughts: Honey Singh as the Mafia King Returns
Honey Singh’s return with Mafia marks a high-stakes entry into his new era. The poster, styling, direction, and strategic teaser build-up all reflect a mature, bold, and cinematic approach. The choice to work again with Teji Sandhu — and the thematic return to gangster aesthetics — suggests that Glorious Days isn’t just an album but a carefully orchestrated legacy project.
With Mafia set to be the first strike, the countdown to August 26 has officially begun. Whether you’re a long-time Honey Singh fan or a new listener intrigued by the buzz, this track could very well set the tone for a game-changing Indian music rollout in 2025.
