"Srivalli" is an Indian Telugu-language song composed by Devi Sri Prasad, with lyrics by Chandrabose and recorded by Sid Sriram for the soundtarck album of the 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise.[1] It was released on 13 October 2021 (released on YouTube as a lyrical video song) as the second single from the album, through Aditya Music.[2] The full video song, featuring scenes directly from the film, was released on 4 January 2022 on YouTube.[3]

The song was also released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages with the same title and was included in the respective dubbed versions of the film. The song was produced by Aditya Music in Bengali with the same title and was released in July 2023.[4] The hook leg-dance step in the film, performed by the lead actor Allu Arjun became popular.

"Srivalli" experienced large amounts of commercial success. Although the song and the film were released in 2021, it had a consecutive commercial success throughout 2022, in which it debuted at number one on the Billboard India Songs and retained the position for nine consecutive weeks.[5]

Production, lyrics and recording

Sid Sriram has also recorded the song in Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages. Javed Ali and Usha Uthup have recorded the song in Hindi and Bengali languages.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Devi Sri Prasad said that the song's primary recording was completed in four-and-a-half minutes. He further said that "After I heard the situation, I wanted to put the heroine’s name in the song. From the name Srivalli, I just tapped ‘record’ and started singing the tune".[6]

Devi Sri Prasad had initially planned to replace the Hindi version title with "Sridevi" as Prasad felt that Srivalli is the name of a South Indian girl. The team had tried three to four variations and Javed Ali has even recorded the song as Sridevi instead of Srivalli but weren't satisfied. Later, Ali suggested that the word Srivalli was gelling well with the composition and so decided to retain it.[7]
