‘Ruk Jao Na’ is an Alt-Pop Hindie single, in Naina's "nostalgia capsule”. It is a homage to her late father Capt. Sushil Bhan, her musical mentor. Woven from fragments of a forgotten love song he penned, the track ‘Ruk Jao Na’ became a journey of catharsis from grief to healing. While its surface narrative speaks of a lover's plea to spend a moment longer, the song's true heart took on a new meaning as a daughter's whispered wish for more time. Set against the ethereal, solitary landscapes of Shillong's grasslands, the music video unfolds as a magical realist dream of a girl's search for sanctuary, a place where she can finally find rest.
