Chances Lyrics – JD Bains (Feat. Ritu Matharoo)

The meaning behind the Punjabi song “Chances” by JD Bains, featuring Ritu Matharoo, is actually pretty relatable for anyone who’s ever been in that confusing stage with someone. The concept of this song also crafted by JD Bains, and you can tell they wanted to build something that hits you in the feels, you know? JD Bains, who also produced the track, gives it this smooth, kind of melancholic yet hopeful vibe that just fits the lyrics perfectly. It’s all about that push and pull, when you’re into someone but they’re playing hard to get, and you’re just trying to figure out where you stand.

So, if you get into the verses, this verse are about the guy’s perspective, basically pleading with the girl to stop with the excuses. He’s saying, you know, “speak sweetly, come a little closer, open up about what’s in your heart.” He’s calling her out, saying she’s turning their love into some kind of disease by keeping her distance. The cool part is the imagery he uses, like the kajal in her eyes drives him crazy, and he’s just asking her to come and erase the distance between them. Then later, he gets a bit more urgent, telling her to “listen up” and stop making new excuses, warning her that she might regret it one day if she lets this moment, this vela, pass by. There’s this real sense of a ticking clock, like “if you let this chance slip, you won’t get it back.”

Alright, the chorus is where the whole feeling of the song really crystallizes. Let’s break it down line by line. “Milne nu na-na kardi” – “She says no-no to meeting.” Straight up rejection, right? “Andro saade te mardi” – “But inside, she’s dying for us.” That’s the core conflict! She’s fighting her own feelings. “Kahton eh nakhre kardi” – “Why does she put on these airs?” He’s frustrated, asking why the act. And then the punchline, “Samajh koi aave na” – “No one can understand it.” It’s that universal confusion. The repeated line “Na-na kardi da kidhere, bera langh jaave na” is so impactful. It’s like saying, “If you keep saying no-no, where will this boat of ours sail to? It won’t cross over.” The boat is their chance at love, their relationship, just stuck because of her refusal.

The lines that always get me are the ones at the very end: “Kaun kattu tera kadna mutiare ni / Kaun kaho teri peer mage na rahdi.” Man, that’s some deep devotion right there. He’s saying, “Who would dare to cut your tough attitude, my pearl?” calling her mutiare, a jewel. And then, “Who can say your pain doesn’t ask for a path?” That second line is fascinating. It’s a bit of a complex metaphor, but it means like, who can claim that your inner pain isn’t searching for a way out, for a solution? He’s implying that he sees that pain and he’s the path it’s looking for. It’s not just about her playing games anymore; it’s him saying he understands her hidden struggles and he’s the one who can actually handle her and heal that. It flips the whole song from just frustration to a really profound kind of understanding. That hits different, for real.
