Mumbai: Singer Armaan Malik and hip-hop powerhouse Ikka have officially released their vibrant new song titled Maybe, which encapsulates the excitement of new love.

With Maybe, Ikka said the duo “aimed for a track that feels good, makes you smile, and reminds you of those butterflies you get when you’re falling for someone. I’m really proud of what we’ve created together.”

Armaan shared his enthusiasm for the new release and said that Maybe carries an edgy, intoxicating energy “that you feel from the very first note, and it’s a vibe I really haven’t tapped into before.”

He added, “It’s moody, bold, and still super melodic. This also marks my first collaboration with Ikka, and honestly, it was seamless. We didn’t have to force anything, the vibe was just there, and that reflects in the track.”

Maybe is another offering from Royal Stag Packaged Drinking Water Boombox, a dynamic musical platform.

Ikka, who was a childhood friend of rappers Raftaar and Lil Golu, eventually got an opportunity to work with Yo Yo Honey Singh as part of the Mafia Mundeer group. After the group split up, he began working as a solo artist and lyricist.

In 2016, Ikka, alongside Dr Zeus and Neetu Singh, released Half Window Down, which turned out to be a hit. The track was initially written for Diljit Dosanjh, but due to scheduling delays, Zeus convinced Ikka to sing it himself.

This, along with several notable Bollywood tracks, led to the release of his debut solo studio album I in 2020 under Mass Appeal India. He made his Bollywood debut with In Da Club from the 2014 film Tamanchey and was later seen as a judge on MTV Hustle alongside Raftaar in 2024.

Meanwhile, Armaan began singing at the age of four and made his Bollywood debut as a child singer in 2007 with Bum Bum Bole in Taare Zameen Par. His most popular tracks include Bol Do Na Zara (Azhar), Main Hoon Hero Tera (Hero), Besabriyaan and Jab Tak from M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.
