'WOW' from 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' out now, Varun Dhawan calls it "my birthday jam"

Mumbai, April 24

The makers of 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' have released the new track 'WOW' on the special occasion of Varun Dhawan's birthday.

Sharing the track on Instagram, Varun Dhawan wrote, "My birthday jam is WOW So excited about this track thankful to all my people for making this birthday wow #WOWItsVarunDay #HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai in cinemas on 22nd May 2026."

The film stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde

The upbeat dance number features vocals by Harrdy Sandhu and Kiran Bajwa. It is composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Rony Ajnali and Gill Machhrai, with lyrics by Rony and Gill, as per the press release.

Speaking about the track, Kumar Taurani of Tips Music said in a statement, "Good music finds its audience, you can't force that. What we had here was the right combination from the start. Harrdy, Tanishk, Kiran, Rony and Gill each bring something distinct, and together they give this track a range that's hard to manufacture. Add Varun, Mrunal, and Pooja to the visual and it just completes the picture."

Harrdy Sandhu added, "From the first listen, 'WOW' had that spark. It's high on energy and super addictive, the kind of song you don't just hear, you feel. Recording this with the bunch of amazing creative collaborators was an absolute blast."

"There's a playful, vibrant vibe to WOW that makes it stand out. It's bold, catchy, and perfect for anyone who just wants to let loose and have fun," said Kiran Bajwa.

Composer Tanishk Bagchi noted, "With WOW, the idea was to keep it contemporary, punchy, and irresistibly catchy. It's designed to make you move simple as that."

Lyricist-composer Gill Machhrai shared that, "We wanted to create something that clicks instantly while still having longevity and WOW just delivers that." While Rony Ajnali added, "The lyrics are fun, easy, and instantly memorable. Every line and beat is crafted to build the song's energy and make it a go-to party anthem."

Produced by Ramesh Taurani and directed by veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, the upcoming entertainer promises a lively blend of romance and comedy.

Honestly, Tanishk Bagchi ka track hai to catchy toh hoga hi. But I hope lyrics mein kuch naya ho, not just the usual party beats. 'WOW' naam se hi pata chal raha hai vibe kya hogi. Varun ke liye best of luck! 🎶

David Dhawan aur Varun ki jodi comedy mein to hit hai, but let's see if the music elevates the film. Tips Music ka comparison to top hai, but WOW ka 'instant click' wala claim kuch zyada nahi ho gaya? Time will tell.

Harrdy Sandhu and Kiran Bajwa together in a party anthem! Count me in. Varun's energy is unmatched. Can't wait to hear the full track on his birthday. This is going to be on loop during my morning commute. 🎶🚗

Love the lineup! Varun, Mrunal, Pooja - what a combo! Hope the song has some desi tadka too, not just western beats. 'Go-to party anthem' sounds promising. Fingers crossed for some fun lyrics. 🎉
