Pakistani singer Shae Gill has addressed the social media discussion over similarities between Hania Aamir’s new song “Pablo” and her track “Insecurity,” rejecting speculation that her recent post was aimed at the actor or intended as a criticism of her work.
The debate began after the release of “Pablo,” when social media users started comparing it with Gill’s “Insecurity.” Some users went further and accused Hania Aamir of copying elements of Gill’s song. Gill later shared an acoustic version of “Insecurity” to mark the track’s first anniversary, which led some followers to interpret the timing as an indirect response to the controversy.
Shae Gill explains the reason behind her post
Gill responded to the speculation by saying she does not harbour hatred toward anyone and that people are free to interpret and engage with the music as they wish.
She clarified that her acoustic release was simply connected to the anniversary of her first solo song. According to the singer, the track was originally released in September last year, and she shared its acoustic version this September to mark one year since its release.
Gill also questioned how celebrating the anniversary of a song could be interpreted as a sarcastic message directed at another person.
Singer says she cannot respond to every comment
Addressing the ongoing discussion, Gill said she could not go through every comment on social media to provide an explanation. She indicated that fans were free to form their own views about the situation.
The singer’s clarification came as comparisons between the two songs continued to circulate online. The material provided for the report does not establish whether “Pablo” was copied from “Insecurity”; it only documents the social media comparisons and Gill’s response to the speculation.
Artists praise acoustic version
Gill’s acoustic version of “Insecurity” also received positive reactions from several Pakistani artists and social media personalities, including Aima Baig, Abdul Hannan and Anural Khalid.
The discussion surrounding the two songs remains primarily a social media debate, while Gill has stated that her acoustic release was intended to mark the first anniversary of her solo track.
