Music lovers can take a deep breath Arijit Singh may have stepped away from accepting new playback assignments, but his voice isn’t disappearing anytime soon. The beloved singer recently addressed the growing confusion surrounding his retirement announcement and reassured fans that several unreleased and unfinished songs are still in the pipeline.
In a heartfelt note shared on his X account — which was previously private and has now been made public — Arijit clarified his current professional status. He began with a direct and personal appeal, writing, “This message is just for my listeners, please don’t read and swipe right now if you are not my listener, it’s a humble request.” The line immediately set the tone for what followed: an intimate message addressed solely to those who have supported him throughout his journey.
Expressing gratitude, he wrote, “Hello beautiful people! I just want to tell you all that I love you. Thank you so much for your kindness in this ruthless world.” The sincerity of his words resonated deeply with fans, many of whom have been emotional since he first announced that he would no longer take on new playback projects.
However, Arijit made it clear that while he is not signing fresh assignments, his musical presence will continue to be felt for quite some time. “The list of pending songs are not less you know. I will have to complete a lot of songs… there are so many unfinished songs, they are gonna keep releasing until done. Maybe through this whole year, maybe it will touch next year too,” he shared.
This clarification brings comforting news to listeners who feared his voice would vanish from film soundtracks overnight. In reality, multiple tracks recorded earlier — as well as projects that were already underway — remain incomplete and are yet to be released. As these songs gradually make their way to screens and streaming platforms, audiences will continue to experience the magic that has defined Arijit’s career.
The singer also used the opportunity to gently urge fans not to engage in heated debates about his decision. Aware that discussions about his retirement have sparked arguments online, he wrote, “Don’t involve into explaining people. How many times will you?” His message was simple: remain calm and avoid unnecessary confrontations.
Beyond professional updates, Arijit’s note carried a deeper, almost spiritual undertone. He encouraged followers to take care of themselves, meditate and focus on love and inner peace. Signing off with “Jay Devi!” he added a cryptic yet hopeful line: “Also, who knows what lies ahead.!” The remark has already fueled speculation among fans, many interpreting it as a subtle hint that his journey with music may not be entirely closed.
The original retirement announcement came on January 27, when Arijit revealed that he would no longer accept new playback singing assignments. In that earlier message, he expressed gratitude for the immense love he has received over the years. “I want to thank you for giving me so much love all these years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not gonna be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on,” he had written. Describing his professional journey as “wonderful,” he added that he was “calling it off.”
For many fans, the announcement marked the end of an era. Arijit Singh’s voice has been synonymous with some of the most iconic romantic and emotional tracks in contemporary Indian cinema. His ability to convey heartbreak, longing and devotion through song has made him one of the most celebrated playback singers of his generation.
Yet, this latest clarification offers reassurance. While he may not be committing to new projects, the music he has already poured his heart into will continue to reach audiences in the months ahead. For now, listeners can hold on to the promise that Arijit Singh’s soulful melodies are far from over — they are simply unfolding, one pending release at a time.
