2. Tadap Tadap Ke (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam) – This is the quintessential KK song. If anyone in India has to name a song sung by KK, this is the song that for sure would be on top of their mind! The range displayed by the late singer in this song is phenomenal! Nothing compares to it. The music was by Ismail Darbar and the song was picturised on Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai.

This number is entrenched in the melody of sorrow and it is just so deep. Very few songs in the Bollywood repertoire can actually compare with this! Here is the song:
4. Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana (Rehnna Hai Terre Dil Mein) – This song is a pastiche of romanticism, grief, emancipation, and anger. To put it succinctly the song is about loving and losing and everything that goes with it. The song was picturised on the handsome R.Madhavan and the beautiful Dia Mirza. The song was composed by Harris Jayaraj and was crooned by KK. It was the hugest hit of the year the film released and no other song came close to its popularity. The lyrics by Sameer were every bit true and the melliflous quality of KK’s voice did full justice to the song which is popular till this very day!
