In a recent interview with us, Malik, who has been the voice behind many hits such as 'Bol Do Na Zara', 'Jab Tak' and 'Tere Bina', said it is “crucial” for him to understand the emotion in the song before he walks into the recording studio.
“Having recorded for almost 250 songs, I have developed my own process of understanding the song and the feeling it’s trying to convey. Once I have that on lock, the rest flows naturally,” he had said.
