Written and composed by young musician Faiza Mujahid herself, “Meri Zindagi” is perhaps a coming-of-age song for the musician and somewhat introspectively, talks to the youth, more specifically young girls, to be more independent and in decision making control of their lives; a vision driven from the musician’s own personal experiences and journey of young rebellion, having constantly clashed with tradition and expectations, carving out a path for herself.
The video for ‘‘Meri Zindagi” sees the musician in a new avatar and has been shot in high definition, conceptualized and directed by Armughan Hassan, featuring artist and drummer Mehreen Murtaza and Asma Lakhwaira on guitars.

On the release of her single Faiza said, “Taking a musical hiatus after Bandeya Ho and Kahan Houn Mein ended up being important for me as it gave me time and hopefully a pinch of maturity to explore my musical direction - with the release of Meri Zindagi, I feel I have had a chance to express my hopes, desires and frustrations as I experienced them. My music has always been inspired by my own understandings of the world as it is and Meri Zindagi is no different – if anything, I hope that in its own way the song it is able to reach out to the current generation of young girls to encourage them to stand up for themselves positively.”
