Global hitmaker Alan Walker and Indian superstar King have joined forces for a powerful cross-cultural collaboration. Their new single, “Story of a Bird”, is out now on all major streaming platforms. The cinematic track premiered with an emotionally charged music video on YouTube and debuted live to thousands at the WAVES Summit in Mumbai on May 1.
Blending Walker‘s signature atmospheric electronic production with King‘s soulful Hindi lyrics, “Story of a Bird” delivers a universal message: to honor the unseen creators, the quiet dreamers who keep going, even when no one is watching.
“We made this song for anyone who keeps creating, even in silence,” says Alan Walker. “It’s about persistence, hope, and reminding people that they’re not alone on their journey.”
King, one of India’s most streamed artists and a breakout voice across South Asia, adds a raw emotional layer to the song. His verses in Hindi bring poetic grit and defiance, giving voice to creators everywhere.
“Music finds the misfits first, it always has,” says King. “This song is for the rebels, the ones still sketching, writing, dreaming in the background. Alan and I wanted to create something honest and global. Collaborating with him felt natural, we both speak through music.”
Though the lyrics are in Hindi, the sound is borderless, crafted to resonate with listeners worldwide. The accompanying music video follows the story of an unknown creator slowly stepping into their own light. It’s a cinematic tribute to the quiet resilience behind every creative journey.
The release has already sparked global buzz, following teaser clips from Alan Walker‘s ongoing world tour and King‘s digital campaign ahead of their live debut at WAVES Summit, a creator-first showcase held annually in Mumbai.
“Story of a Bird” isn’t just a collaboration, it’s a cultural moment. With both artists known for their authenticity and massive fanbases, this release is poised to inspire a new wave of creators across continents.
