Overall Meaning

The song "Why Don't You" by Babbu Maan speaks about the frustration of the singer who keeps calling a friend but cannot seem to reach them because their line is always either busy or unreachable. The singer urges the friend to pick up the phone on the first ring, adding that it is frustrating to keep calling since the friend has not been keeping their phone balance loaded. The song also takes a humorous approach as the singer gives an ultimatum to his friend, saying that he will come to their location, knocking on their window, and calling them until they pick up the phone.

The lyrics suggest the frustration and misunderstandings that can arise due to poor communication, especially in friendships. The use of colloquial language like 'yaar', meant to refer to a close friend, adds a personal and relatable touch to the song. Through the use of humor and sarcasm, the song implores people to ensure that they keep their phones topped up and accessible to friends who might need to reach them.
