Perspective
In late-December 2016, Ali Zafar revealed that he was honoured to have been chosen again by Pakistan Cricket Board to write, compose and sing the anthem for PSL season II. "After last time's phenomenal response I assume the expectations will be much higher this year." he said further, "Last time (for PSL season I), it was just the beginning. This time, it's a bigger celebration." He told that the song he tried to make "not only celebrates the success of last year's achievement but also anticipates what's in store for the year to come."[1][2][3]
The tournament news has been promoted by hashtag #AbKhelJamayGa on social media accounts of PSL.[4] The song was initially released online on 1 January 2017, but then officially released again on 2 January 2017 with some change in background voice.[5]
