A source close to Farhan reveals, “He got inspired to write the song, which is titled ‘We all are on the good side’, after he saw a drawing made by his daughter. It’s a special single that has been made for Women’s Day this year. Farhan is dedicating the track to his daughter. The song is about equality, and urges people to respect each other.”

When contacted, Farhan confirmed the news, and said, “This song is about how a child sees the world, before his or her mind is corrupted with adult influences of prejudice, discrimination and bias. It calls for all of us to celebrate equality.” Recently, Farhan even updated a post on his Instagram profile that featured the single’s cover. It read, “Will be sharing something special with you all soon… (sic).”
