Nora loves “pushing boundaries”.

“And getting to rap on this track was an incredibly exciting experience. It exudes fierce, confident energy — the kind that makes you want to be unapologetically you! The kind that makes you want to own your femininity while burning the dance floor. That’s exactly the vibe we brought to the music video as well.”

“With my initiative #DanceWithNora, I’ve always encouraged people to be confident and express themselves through dance — and this track captures that same spirit. It’s fast, fun, packed with swag, and I promise — it will be stuck in your head from the very first listen!”

“Sultana” is composed by Harsh Upadhyay, with lyrics by Pranav Vatsa, Harsh Upadhyay, and Sukriti Bhardwaj.

Reflecting on the song, Sunidhi Chauhan shared that there are songs that make you tap your feet, and then there are songs that make you want to get up and dance like no one’s watching.

“This one is definitely the latter! The moment I heard the track, I knew it had that perfect blend of attitude, groove, and infectious energy. Recording it was an absolute blast. Hope that people will like it too,” she said.

Mika Singh tagged the track as a “total banger”.

“The beats hit hard, the vocals bring insane power, and the energy is simply contagious. It’s got that perfect mix of desi swag and groove—one that makes you want to dance the moment it starts playing.”

“Be Happy” stars Abhishek Bachchan, Nora Fatehi, and Inayat Verma, with Nassar, Johny Lever and Harleen Sethi in pivotal roles. Abhishek stars as Shiv, a devoted single father, and Inayat Verma as his witty and affectionate daughter, Dhara, as they navigate life’s ups and downs.

Produced under the banner of Remo D’Souza Entertainment by Lizelle Remo D’Souza and directed by Remo D’Souza, Be Happy will stream on Prime Video on March 14.
