Balkaur Singh, Sidhu's father, had previously referred to the release, promising fans that they would hear new music from the adored singer on this momentous occasion.

Fans worldwide took to the comment section of music videos on YouTube, remembering the singer on his birth anniversary. one fan wrote, "Sidhu moose wala forever Happy birthday jatta."

On May 29, 2022, Sidhu Moose Wala, one of the most well-known Punjabi singers in India, was tragically murdered. In Jawaharke village, Mansa district, Punjab, he was sitting in his car when he was shot and killed by assailants.
The singer was taken to the hospital immediately, but before medical help could arrive, he passed away from his wounds. His sudden passing shocked the country and sparked a great deal of indignation. His parents, Charan Kaur and Balkaur Singh, have since taken the lead in a campaign calling for justice for their cherished son.
The Moose Wala family recently made headlines again when, on March 17, 2024, they welcomed a baby boy—Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu—born via IVF. The news was met with both joy and scrutiny, as the parents, both aged 58, faced backlash for opting for IVF at their age.
