Nice flute sounds and rap by Earl commence the hip-hop 'You're My Love', which features thrice in the album. The second one is a mere space filler and the third is a remixed version. The 'mukhda' seems to be inspired by Himesh's title track from 'Good Boy Bad Boy'. The instrumentation and orchestration is mostly Indian with flute and 'been' sounds dominating the proceedings. Shaan is perfect as usual and Shweta complements him with her lovely rendition. Shabbir Ahmed's lyrics are filmy to the core. The somewhat subdued vocals in the antara give it that unique touch. The not too much heightened pace, with added percussion sounds, makes the remixed, 'Do You Wanna Partner', a good hear.
Rhythmic, synthesized music commences the Punjabi pop styled 'Soni De Nakhre'. Quite a catchy dance number with lyrics mostly in Punjabi, will be patronized by a certain section. But when compared to the team's last Punjabi pop styled 'Aaja Soniye', this one is certainly not in the same league and will definitely not get as popular. Though Sajid-Wajid have roped in Labh Janjua, who is a very popular Punjabi pop sensation from UK and has sung for a few Hindi films. But his presence will not make much of a difference to this average number.
The carnival spirit of Goa comes alive in this festive cum romantic number 'Maria Maria'. The song begins in a Ricky Martin style, but thankfully later changes tracks, as it becomes super energetic, keeping up with the festive and boisterous mood of the festival. It is a treat to hear Sonu and Sunidhi together yet again. They sing with zest and fervor and succeed in redeeming the number to an extent. The chorus 'Maria Maria' is the highlight piece of the composition. When compared to the memorable "Maria" numbers, like the one from R. D. Burman's 'Sagar' and Anu Malik's 'Josh', this number by Sajid Wajid will not be classified in the same league but is definitely worth a hear.
