Lisa Mishra Releases Queer Love Ballad ‘Teri Hoon' For Pride Month
Last Updated: Lisa Mishra drops new single 'Teri Hoon' for Pride Month, a soulful queer love ballad that captures the beauty and vulnerability of same-sex romance. After winning over fans with her heartfelt portrayal in the series The Royals and earlier earning acclaim for her singing prowess, Indian-American artist Lisa Mishra returns to her musical roots with a moving new single, Teri Hoon. Released during the first week of Pride Month, the love ballad is more than just a song—it's a poetic love letter to queer romance, delicately exploring the emotional landscapes of love between two women. Known for her distinct voice and evocative songwriting, Lisa Mishra has made a mark with chart-toppers like Tareefan from Veere Di Wedding, Aa Mil with Zaeden, and Sajna Ve with Vishal Mishra. But Teri Hoon feels different—it's personal, intimate, and deeply vulnerable. Co-composed and performed by Lisa herself, the track unfolds like a gentle confession, drenched in longing and the tender hope of being seen and held. Inspired by her time playing the character Niki on The Royals, Lisa felt compelled to create a musical piece that could capture the kind of quiet yet powerful love she experienced while stepping into the shoes of a queer woman. The lyrics of Teri Hoon are written from one woman to another, and the accompanying music video embraces that ambiguity with grace. Featuring contemporary dancer Isha Sawant, the video blurs the lines between reality and emotion—leaving the audience to interpret whether Isha is a lover or simply a mirror of the artist's own yearning. The choice is intentional, reflecting the universal experience of vulnerability in love. Speaking about the song, Lisa shared, 'This song is very close to my heart. After spending the past few months in the world of The Royals—a show that allowed me to grow as an actor—it felt like the perfect time to return to music, which has always been my first love." She added that Teri Hoon is an ode to enduring, powerful love and that she hopes to reintroduce audiences to the charm of classic romantic ballads made with real instruments. Lisa's creative synergy with Call Me Bae cinematographer Anuj Samtani brings a cinematic depth to the video, enriching its visual storytelling. With subtle choreography, minimalistic lighting, and an emotionally raw performance, the music video complements the sincerity of the track without overwhelming it. Reflecting on the creative process, Lisa said, 'Writing and composing this song allowed me to reconnect with the emotional roots of why I started making music in the first place. It's deeply personal, and I've poured a lot of myself into it. I hope it resonates with lovers everywhere." As Teri Hoon begins to make its way into the playlists of romantic souls across the globe, Lisa Mishra once again affirms her place as one of India's most versatile voices—one who moves seamlessly between Bollywood glamour and indie depth, and between acting and singing, without losing her authentic emotional core. In an industry often driven by trends, Teri Hoon is a quiet revolution—a celebration of queer love, timeless romance, and the kind of music that lingers long after the last note. First Published:
