Sharing the news on social media, Dosanjh confirmed his upcoming single with J Balvin, giving fans a first look at the anticipated global collaboration.
Diljit Dosanjh marked his 42nd birthday on January 6 with a major global music announcement: a teaser for his upcoming single “Señorita,” a cross-cultural collaboration with Colombian reggaeton icon J Balvin.
The teaser — shared on Diljit’s official Instagram — gives fans their first glimpse of the track. In his post, Dosanjh wrote, “Birthday Surprise with The Pride of Colombia Big Brother @jbalvin X 2026…” signalling a bold international push for the new release.
The collaboration arrives at a moment when Dosanjh is steadily expanding his global footprint through high-profile cross-border projects and live appearances. In recent years, he has performed at major international festivals — including Coachella in 2023, where he became the first Punjabi artist to grace the main stage — and has increasingly positioned Punjabi music within a worldwide pop landscape with collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Jackson Wang and Sia.

Early reactions on social media have been enthusiastic, with fans around the world hailing the partnership as a standout moment in both artists’ careers. The clip’s vibrant visuals and high-energy feel already position “Señorita” as a potential global anthem ahead of its full release.
For J Balvin, whose influence in Latin music includes multiple Billboard Latin Music Awards and Latin Grammy Awards, the collaboration marks another milestone in his ongoing global expansion. Known for hits like “Mi Gente” and “I Like It,” Balvin brings an extensive catalog of cross-genre success to the project.
For Dosanjh — who has successfully balanced music and film with hits in Punjabi pop and roles in major Bollywood and regional projects — teaming up with Balvin underscores his growing international footprint.
