W.i.S.H. And Panther Drop Explosive Afro-Desi Anthem 'Bolo Bolo'
Last Updated: India's pioneering I-pop girl group W.i.S.H. returns with 'Bolo Bolo', a fiery new track featuring rapper Panther. In a sonic crossover you didn't see coming, India's trailblazing I-pop girl group W.i.S.H. has teamed up with breakout rapper Panther to deliver 'Bolo Bolo"—a fiery Afro-Desi banger that blends attitude, swagger, and girl code flair into one unforgettable track. Released on July 11, 2025, this high-energy collaboration doesn't just spark a vibe—it demands a reaction. Produced by the iconic Mikey McCleary and rising producer Parth Parekh, 'Bolo Bolo" is a genre-defying mashup of fierce vocals, razor-sharp rap verses, and glossy pop production. The result? A cheeky, confident anthem that dares listeners to stop overthinking and start speaking from the heart. With an infectious hook and lyrics that channel the universal frustration of unsaid feelings, the track is part confession, part confrontation, and 100% celebration. 'Bolo Bolo definitely emerged out of that 'ugh just say it already' mood," W.i.S.H. explained. 'We've all been there—dropping hints, sending signals, and still getting silence. This track is our fun, sassy way of saying: enough with the mind games—just speak up! It's got a little eye roll energy and a whole lot of girl code confidence." Panther brings his signature street-smart edge to the track, effortlessly matching W.i.S.H.'s energy. 'There's this cool, fun push in 'Bolo Bolo' that hooked me from the start," he shared. 'People need to stop being cryptic and bolo bolo, yaar! I loved working with these talented girls—it's cheeky, real, and straight from the heart. Truth hits harder when it's got a sick beat." Co-written by Mikey, Parth, lyricist Smriti Bhokar, and Panther himself, the track is already turning heads as one of the year's most exciting cross-genre collaborations. It's a sonic clash of bold femininity and raw hustle—where girl power meets street swag. The music video? A full-blown pop spectacle. Styled to perfection and choreographed for virality, it fuses cinematic visuals with unapologetic Desi glam. Glossy, fashion-forward, and attitude-driven, the video channels the best of early-2000s music video grandeur, featuring standout dance sequences and even a surprise cameo by Mikey McCleary. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
