While many say Manghani's sample and the actual song do sound similar, Xulfi says his work "is not borrowed or without credit". Coke Studio released the first song from season 14 on January 14. "I produce and collaborate in the spirit of inclusivity and my work with Coke Studio holds the same philosophy," the statement read. "Coke Studio is Pakistan’s biggest cultural export and connector of hearts and souls; it has consistently brought people together for art, progression and positivity. I don’t take the fabric of Coke Studio lightly but rather wear it as a cloak of responsibility and pride."
