"Dil Dil Pakistan"
Song

Dil Dil Pakistan (Urdu: دل دل پاکستان) is a Pakistani song released in 1987 by the pop band Vital Signs. It was included in the band's debut album Vital Signs 1 in 1989.[1][2]

Reception

Dil Dil Pakistan has been hailed as an unofficial National Anthem of Pakistan.[2][3]

Music video

The song's music video was filmed in Pakistani capital, Islamabad. In most scenes of the video, the members of the band are riding bikes or driving a jeep around the city. In one scene, the group is performing on the slope of a small hill. At the end, all of the band members appear in a rather simplistic studio and the video ends after a few seconds.[4][5]

Lyrics

The authorship of the song is disputed. However, a central role was played by is its producer Shoaib Mansoor who is given most of the credit for the production.[6] The artwork of this album was designed by Jaffer Hussain.[citation needed] Lead singer of Vital Signs, Junaid Jamshed tells that the band and the producer were working on a love song but all efforts seemed to be unsuccessful. At last, Shoaib Mansoor abandoned the idea of love song and decided to work on a patriotic one, and as a result Dil Dil Pakistan was created.[2][7]
