Motive[edit]

Kashan Admani, a Pakistani producer, composer, and guitarist, initiated the project of "a song that would be a united prayer" during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The song was chosen to inspire hope[4][5] and send a message of unity to the global population affected by COVID-19.[6][7] Admani said in an interview with Arab News: "The idea was to talk about global unity in fighting the pandemic and praying to God for help. That's the reason why it's called 'We Are One', 'Aae Khuda'".[8][9]

Each artist recorded their audio and video parts in their home studios/recording facilities and sent them to Admani, who mixed the final track in his studio, Dream Station Productions.[8]

The Urdu poetry of 'Aae Khuda' was written by Sabir Zafar while the English poetry was written by Babar Sheikh.[10]
