Euphoria’s Palash Sen has also come up with a Corona -The Viral Song. The song highlights how the pandemic ‘ne sabko sudhara (made everyone improve). Sen and his crew in a light-hearted manner share how the phase has made everyone pay attention to their hygiene, by using hand sanitisers, soap, greeting with Namaste, learning new skills like music, doing daily chores and more.

“The basic thought has been how the calamity has brought out a difference into our lives. We have been paying attention to our hygience, by using sanitiser, apart from many other such changes. We just thought of conveying the message through humour.  Being a doctor, I know making people smile can bring about a difference to their lives,” Palash Sen told Republic TV.

Be it the cancellation of live shows, IPL getting shelved or the dig at China over ‘bats’, it’s not just the catchy beats, but also the lyrics that viewers will relate to and enjoy. The credit for the lines can be given to a new lyricist, Prem Nikaju, according to Palash Sen, but the singer-composer added that it was all in good humour and no attempt to make any serious statement was made.
