Alan Walker and Pritam release new song ‘Children of the Sun’

The Norwegian DJ and Bollywood composer have created a fusion of electronic beats and Indian tunes

International music sensation Alan Walker has collaborated with Bollywood composer Pritam for a new track — Children of the Sun. Released on September 26, the song blends Walker's signature electronic sound with Pritam’s Indian influences, creating a dynamic anthem aimed at uniting cultures. The song also features the voice of Indian singer Vishal Mishra and incorporates a children’s choir — adding depth to its hopeful and uplifting message. This collaboration marks Walker’s latest foray into the Indian music scene ahead of his 10-city India tour, which kicked off on September 27 in Kolkata. 

Children of the Sun draws inspiration from ’80s synthwave while incorporating contemporary production techniques, showcasing the seamless integration of global and regional soundscapes. The song is not only a celebration of musical diversity, but also an effort to promote unity through art. Walker, best known for his global hit Faded, and Pritam, a celebrated figure in Indian film music, aimed to create a cultural moment with this track, resonating with fans from both electronic and Bollywood music worlds.
