Blending stripped-down acoustic melodies with Jafri’s vocals, the track evokes a sense of nostalgia that has become synonymous with his sound. The song’s progression mirrors the emotional pull between closeness and distance.
The music video is set in a beach house that follows Jafri as he drifts between moments of solitude and creative reflection, writing, erasing, and revisiting his thoughts as the sea stretches before him. The black and white intercuts add to the video’s dreamlike quality.

For Jafri, Chalo Door Kahin is a song that’s been part of his journey since the beginning. He performed it live at several shows before ever recording it. Most recently during his Abbottabad concert in September, where he sang all his originals live on stage for the first time and announced its upcoming release. Written years ago, the track was initially meant to be his debut single, but Jafri chose to wait for the right moment, one shaped by growth and the love he’s received from his listeners.
This release follows his original singles Meri Ho and Hoor, along with his contributions to the hit drama Parwarish. Earlier this month, Spotify announced Samar Jafri as its RADAR Pakistan artist for Q4 2025, aiming to release a mini-documentary exploring his creative journey, inspirations, and the moments that have defined his artistic identity.
Chalo Door Kahin has been written, composed, and performed by Jafri, with music production by Alistair Alvin and video direction, editing, and cinematography by Arqam Junaid Ghani.
