To spread awareness about mental illnesses and remove the stigma associated with it, Euphoria frontman Dr Palash Sen released a single, Main Hoon, today. The World Music Day release is part of a four-episode web series, titled SOS - Survivors Of Suicide. A survivor of depression, Sen reveals that he conceptualised the track when he was battling "one of the darkest phases of my life" a few years ago.

"I was on the brink of giving up, but I fought back. Everyone battles depression at some point. There is a stigma associated with people who speak about it. That is not healthy. As a musician, I have always tried to heal through words. This is my humble contribution to those who have made me what I am," says the singer. Sen adds that the project, backed by One Digital Entertainment, will inspire those suffering from mental illnesses. "It speaks about self-realisation. It is a call for everyone to find the inner strength and not lose hope. I'm sure this song will inspire people to find their own identity."
