After the success of his first two albums, Atif Aslam released his third solo album, Meri Kahani (Urdu: میری کہانی, transl. My Story), in 2008.[1] The album was produced by Sarmad Abdul Ghafoor.
Performance
[edit]The entire album had a darker theme. The album's song "Rabba Sacheya" is synonymous with Faiz Ahmad Faiz's poem. The song revolves around the corruption in society and poor man's struggle to survive. The album was promoted by using the song "Meri Kahani". This song is about nostalgia, old memories and childhood. The Punjabi song "Mae Ni" depicts the emotion like a folk song. "Joug" is a song about having lost everything that was precious to one. The song "Mann Hota Hai" has a simple piano-based composition.[2]
