After the phenomenal success of her title track ‘Balleya’ from the series ‘Salakaar’, Global pop sensation Shannon Kumar Sanu returns with her brand-new single ‘Antidote’, a soulful track that beautifully captures the heightened emotions of love, longing, and connection. The song was released recently to bring in the festive spirit before the holidays and is now available across all digital platforms under her own label, ‘Shannon K’.

‘Antidote’ is an emotional narrative that captures the phase when someone you deeply love or care about isn’t close to you, making every emotion feel more intense. The track reflects both the ache of missing someone and the healing comfort of love, which acts as the “antidote” to loneliness and struggle. The melancholic song is not only sung by Shannon Kumar Sanu but also beautifully written by her, with lyrics that perfectly complement the energy and seamlessly fit the mood of the track.

Known for her soulful vocals, evocative songwriting, and genre-fluid sound, Shannon Kumar Sanu shares the inspiration behind the single, saying, “Music has always been a kind of remedy for me, and that’s where the title came from. Antidote is about finding strength and healing in love and connection, even when distance or challenges are in the way. I wanted to write something that doesn’t just speak for me, but for everyone who has gone through that emotional tug-of-war of longing, yet still holding on to love. I like to think of the song as shared, something people can truly see themselves in.”

The music video for Antidote has been shot in Los Angeles with an incredible team who instantly connected with the essence of the track. Shannon once again teamed up with her sister, Annabelle Kumaar, who directed the video. Annabelle, an LA Film School graduate, has previously helmed Shannon’s projects and continues to bring her unique creative vision to life. The track is produced by Moritz Von Kraemer and Christian Kozomora.

Speaking about her collaboration with her sister Annabelle, Shannon says, “Working with Annabelle is always a blessing, but what makes it truly special is her creativity and professionalism. With Antidote, she understood the emotional layers of the song and translated them into visuals that feel authentic and moving. Every time we work together, she helps me express my music in a deeper, more powerful way.”

Over the years, Shannon has steadily carved her niche in the international music scene with songs like ‘Give Me Your Hand’, a massive hit that brought her international acclaim and earned her the Best International Singer Award, along with ‘A Longtime’, ‘Baby I Love You’ ‘Run’, ‘Retrace’, and ‘OMT’, a cross-cultural collaboration with Indian music icon Sonu Nigam, Himesh Reshamia, Shaan, Javed Ali and Mika Sing Each of these tracks has resonated deeply with listeners across the globe. The multifaceted artist, known for her power-packed performances and a string of hit singles that have captured the hearts of millions worldwide, also made history as the first independent Indian-origin singer-songwriter to perform at Coachella 2025. Despite the towering legacy of her father, Shannon has been determined to create her own authentic space as an artist, bringing fresh perspectives and heartfelt emotions through her music.
