Expressing his enthusiasm, Walker shares, "I am thrilled to be working with RCB on this team track. I love cricket, and I’m looking forward to meeting all the Indian cricket legends on the field." He describes the track as a celebration of hope, joy, community, and unity, marking an ambitious year in his career in the Indian market.
Known for hits like 'Faded' and 'On My Way', Alan Walker has previously performed in India and is excited to return with a tune tailored to resonate with his Indian fanbase.
