The Top 5 Jubin Nautiyal Songs That Made Us Fall in Love With His Voice

Some voices just know how to make a love song hit harder. Jubin Nautiyal has built a loyal following with his rich vocals, emotional delivery, and knack for even making heartbreak sound strangely comforting. His songs have soundtracked late-night drives, dramatic romantic moments, and plenty of personal playlists. But what makes his music stick with listeners long after the first play? At Sanskar Savvy, we love to Celebrate, Explore, Connect through music and the stories behind it! So, turn up the volume as we revisit five Jubin Nautiyal songs that deserve a spot on your playlist.

1. Barbaad 
The Fear of Surrendering to Love

From Mohit Suri’s “Saiyaara” (2025), “Barbaad” captures a deep, intricate emotion and highlights an attraction that feels exciting and dangerous at the same time. The Rish composed and wrote this song, while Jubin’s vocals really bring out the tension between wanting someone and fearing what that love might do to you. 

The track’s layered production, prominently the stutter-guitar, gives it its dramatic, cinematic, and unique feel. The song lies in that push and pull: the melody draws you in, while Jubin lets the emotion build by blending into the music, creating a song that aligns perfectly with the film’s storyline and becoming a fan favorite in no time. 

Did you know Jubin came back to re-record the song after discovering its place in the film and its connection to the storyline? He wanted to bring that tension to his voice to match the characters onscreen, and the song’s success proved it was an excellent choice!

2. Humnava Mere 
The Sound of Unrequited Love

Released in 2018, “Humnava Mere” became a favorite for listeners who know how hard it can be to let go. Working with Rocky–Shiv and Manoj Muntashir, Jubin’s restrained delivery gives the heartbreak room to breathe, making every note feel personal rather than theatrical. The music video, filmed in Venice, adds another layer to the song’s story of lost love and missed chances. Crossing over a billion views on YouTube, the official music video shows just how strongly the song connected with audiences. Its staying power comes down to a simple combination of a memorable melody, relatable lyrics, and a voice that sounds like it understands the feeling. 

3. Raataan Lambiyan 
A Duet to Remember

Few romantic duets feel as easy to return to as “Raataan Lambiyan” from “Shershaah” (2021). Jubin shares the vocals with Asees Kaur, while Tanishk Bagchi composed the music and wrote the lyrics. The song pairs a catchy melody with a warm, intimate mood, capturing the excitement of wanting a little more time with someone you love. Jubin brings a gentle richness to the melody, letting the romantic lyrics breathe instead of pushing the emotion too hard. That softness makes the song feel like a conversation between two people who never want their time together to end. 

That balance helped it find an audience well beyond the film. In August 2021, the track pulled in more than eight million Spotify streams in a single week, according to reported chart figures. Its singable hook and the chemistry between both voices made it a natural fit for romantic reels, playlists, and celebrations. 

4. Aakhri Ishq
The Final Promise

With “Aakhri Ishq” from “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” (2026), Jubin shows how much emotion he can convey without raising his voice. Composed by Shashwat Sachdev and written by Irshad Kamil, the song explores a love that slowly fades rather than ending with a dramatic goodbye. Jubin’s measured delivery lets the lyrics land. He holds back where another singer might lean into the heartbreak, capturing the quiet ache of someone still carrying a relationship long after it has changed. 

In an interview with “The New Indian Express,” Jubin explained that the song needed restraint, and that the final version came from a few takes, with the team preserving an honest, almost uninterrupted emotional flow. Here, Jubin sings about more than heartbreak. He captures the silence that follows. 

5. Tum Hi Aana
A Melody of Missing Someone

Released for “Marjaavaan” (2019), “Tum Hi Aana” became one of Jubin Nautiyal’s signature heartbreak songs. Working with Payal Dev and Kunaal Vermaa, Jubin gave the song its aching sense of longing. His warm tone and controlled delivery make the central plea feel personal, as though the singer is speaking directly to someone he cannot let go of. He never needs to oversell the emotion; the pauses and the melody’s rise do much of the work. The idea for this song took shape quickly after Payal shared a random melody on her phone. When she played it during a music session with Jubin and Kunaal, the idea took shape quickly. The result was a song that found the perfect home in “Marjaavaan.”  If you haven’t heard it yet, there’s also a sad version: “Tum Hi Aana (Sad Version),” which gives the song’s heartbreak a different emotional shade. Hearing both versions makes it interesting to compare how the same melody can convey longing in different ways. With expressive vocals and a memorable arrangement, these songs remain standouts in Jubin’s catalog.

A Distinctive Voice

These five tracks show why Jubin Nautiyal remains such a go-to voice for romantic Hindi music. He can bring quiet vulnerability to a song like “Barbaad”, give a duet like “Raataan Lambiyan” its warmth, or turn heartbreak into a full cinematic moment with “Tum Hi Aana”. His strength lies in making big emotions feel close to home.
