Haroon's list of earlier hits includes the super-hit Mr Fraudiye from Awaz's album Shola, Paisa from his debut solo Haroon Ki Awaz, and Big Corporation Man from Haroon Ka Nasha, a satire on large companies that are driven and motivated by greed and profit, without taking into consideration the adverse affects on their customers and environment.

Go Saabjee Go takes the point of view of the common man while addressing the rich, corrupt Saabjee with lyrics such as “phiray hai tu bari gari mein. Paidal tu ghoom kabhi khuwaree mein... dhakke kha saabjee... line laga” (You travel in your big car, why don't you roam in hassle on foot) or “Kabhi to aa meri basti mein, Guzara kar iss pasti mein. Line laga, Aata La, Bhooka na mar...baaz aa” (Come once to my slum. Try to survive in these constricted circumstances. Get in line to get flour. Don't leave us starving...behave). The video is directed by Jalal and features satirical actors like Omar and Ali from the popular political comedy show, The 4-Man Show, as well as actors Khalid and Masooma. Musically, the song is a catchy reggae hip hop beat with funky and satirical lyrics.

Talking to Images on Sunday at a press launch for the video in which Haroon played out the video to the media with the star cast and with director Jalal also present, the singer described how he came up with the concept of the song. “I think it is important as an artist to make social statements and living in a country like Pakistan one can't ignore what is happening all around. The present state of affairs urged me to come up with a song that voices the suffering of the common man facing great injustice. In the video I perform with my band in a prison cell. This is meant to symbolise the people of our nation who have been held captive by corruption and self-serving leaders.”

But who actually is Saabjee? “Let me make it clear.... this song is not about any one government or individual. The Saabjee I sing about is a corrupt frame of mind.”

So what does he expect to achieve with this effort? “I think by bringing these issues out in the open, we can bring about a change. I believe all of us as individuals must play our role as citizens of Pakistan to highlight corrupt elements and wrongdoings. And many of us can start by not pointing fingers at others but getting our own house in order.”

When asked about his new album, Haroon said, “It's ready. I plan to launch it in the coming months.”
