A month after the devastating killings of Army Public School students, pop music band Jal dedicated "Tu Qadam Barhaye Ja" to the victims of attack.

Posted on the band's official Facebook page, the song also marks the return of the singer-turned-actor Gohar Mumtaz who has made several appearances in Pakistani TV serials.

Unlike other tributes for the Army Public School (APS), Jal’s lead singer gives a new spin to the song by keeping it upbeat. After a slow start, the song picks up pace and has a motivational quality rather than a melancholy tune.
