"Tujhko" is the soulful romantic ballad from Cocktail 2 (2026), released by Universal Music India on 25 May 2026. Composed by Pritam with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, it reunites that hit-making trio with playback stars Arijit Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan, who share a tender, slow-building duet picturised on Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The song leans fully into classic Bollywood romance: the narrator confesses that their entire existence now revolves around their beloved, with Arijit Singh's signature emotive lead answered and lifted by Sunidhi Chauhan's powerful voice. Arriving ahead of Homi Adajania's film, the sequel to the much-loved Cocktail (2012), "Tujhko" stands as the soundtrack's big-ballad centrepiece — the soft, comforting heart of the album beside its dance-floor singles.
Tujhko Romanized Lyrics
Romanized version
[Verse 1]
Jeene ki hai tu hi vajah, jeena tere liye
Main kya kahun ke yaar tu, hai kya mere liye
[Pre-Chorus]
Zamane mein kahin, meri tarah kabhi
Chahega na koi tujhko
Jaise maine diya, vaise poori tarah
Dil dega na koi tujhko
[Chorus]
Tujhko... jab se mila... tujhko...
Tujhko... maana jahan... tujhko...
[Verse 2]
Subah ki saari furtiyan, bekhudi har shaam ki
Na ho tere saath mein, toh meri kis kaam ki?
Uthe jo mera har qadam, tere sang shuruat mein
Haath daale haath mein, fiqr kya anjaam ki?
Mujh mein zyaada ab tu hi hai
Jitna main hoon voh kyun hi hai?
Kuch aisa kar main dhoondhoon bhi toh
Paun na khudh ko...
[Chorus]
Tu hi toh aasman, tu hi meri zameen
Maana hai zindagi tujhko...
Bin maange har dua, poori hui meri
Paaya jo humnasheen tujhko...
Tujhko... jab se mila... tujhko...
Tujhko... maana jahan... tujhko...
Tujhko...
[Bridge]
Galatiyan bhi teri, main gawara karun
Ye khata hi sahi, par dobara karun
Kya karun sarphira, ishq hi hai mera
Izhaar ka yahi tareeqa hai mera...
[Outro]
Aankhon ki hai tu raushni, tu hi toh khaab hai
Main hoon agar savaal toh, tu hi jawaab hai...
Original (Hindi) version
[Verse 1]
जीने की है तू ही वजह, जीना तेरे लिए
मैं क्या कहूँ के यार तू, है क्या मेरे लिए
[Pre-Chorus]
ज़माने में कहीं, मेरी तरह कभी
चाहेगा ना कोई तुझको
जैसे मैंने दिया, वैसे पूरी तरह
दिल देगा ना कोई तुझको
[Chorus]
तुझको... जब से मिला... तुझको...
तुझको... माना जहाँ... तुझको...
[Verse 2]
सुबह की सारी फुर्तियाँ, बेख़ुदी हर शाम की
ना हो तेरे साथ में, तो मेरी किस काम की?
उठे जो मेरा हर क़दम, तेरे संग शुरुआत में
हाथ डाले हाथ में, फ़िक्र क्या अंजाम की?
मुझ में ज़्यादा अब तू ही है
जितना मैं हूँ वो क्यों ही है?
कुछ ऐसा कर मैं ढूँढूँ भी तो
पाऊँ ना ख़ुद को...
[Chorus]
तू ही तो आसमाँ, तू ही मेरी ज़मीं
माना है ज़िन्दगी तुझको...
बिन माँगे हर दुआ, पूरी हुई मेरी
पाया जो हमनशीं तुझको...
तुझको... जब से मिला... तुझको...
तुझको... माना जहाँ... तुझको...
तुझको...
[Bridge]
ग़लतियाँ भी तेरी, मैं गवारा करूँ
ये ख़ता ही सही, पर दोबारा करूँ
क्या करूँ सरफिरा, इश्क़ ही है मेरा
इज़हार का यही तरीक़ा है मेरा...
[Outro]
आँखों की है तू रौशनी, तू ही तो ख़्वाब है
मैं हूँ अगर सवाल तो, तू ही जवाब है...

💭 Meaning of "Tujhko" Song Lyrics
Meaning of "Tujhko"
"Tujhko" means "to you" — and the song is, from its first line, an act of complete address: everything the narrator has becomes an offering to the beloved. The central confession is total surrender — that their whole existence now revolves around this one person, that life only makes sense pointed in their direction.
Amitabh Bhattacharya writes it in the unhurried, classical register of old-school Hindi-film romance rather than the conversational style of much current pop — devotion stated plainly and without irony. Sung as a duet, the vow becomes mutual: two voices confessing the same dependence to each other, so the song reads not as one-sided longing but as a shared settling-into love.
It is the soundtrack's emotional anchor — the comforting, slow-flowing counterweight to Cocktail 2's party songs, and a reminder of why the Arijit Singh–Pritam–Amitabh Bhattacharya partnership became Bollywood's defining romantic engine.

🌍 "Tujhko" — Cultural impact & legacy
Cultural Context
"Tujhko" is built on one of Bollywood's most bankable creative partnerships. Arijit Singh, Pritam and Amitabh Bhattacharya have together delivered a long line of era-defining romantic songs, and the soundtrack leans on that history — pairing Singh with Sunidhi Chauhan, one of the few playback voices with the power and pedigree to stand opposite him in a duet.
The single also follows the franchise playbook. The original Cocktail (2012) is remembered for a soundtrack that mixed club anthems with a couple of standout emotional songs, and Cocktail 2 is reproducing that balance — "Tujhko" supplying the tears-on-the-dance-floor ballad to offset the party energy of "Vallah" and the rest, each rolled out as a single to build anticipation ahead of the 19 June 2026 release.
