Prateek Kuhad, Barack Obama, Cold Mess — Prateek Kuhad's Cold Mess song featured in Barack Obama's favourite songs list

New Year -- 2020 -- is round the corner, and people have been looking back at 2019 to remember the memories made during the year. Former US President Barack Obama also had a bucket full of memories -- that included a surprise for Indie singer Prateek Kuhad.

It so happened that Obama compiled a list of his favourites from the year. He first shared the list of his favourite books, TV series and films that released in 2019. The next item to feature in his list of favourites was music.

And Prateek Kuhad's song Cold Mess made it to the list.

"From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick,” Obama had tweeted.

Prateek could not control his excitement after featuring in the list. Reacting to Barack Obama's tweet, Prateek tweeted, "This just happened and I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight. Totally flipping out. I have no idea how cold/mess even reached him but thank you @barackobama, thank you universe. I didn’t think 2019 could’ve gotten better, but damn was I wrong. What an honour.”

Prateek was flooded with congratulatory messages from his fans and followers.

A Twitter user wrote, "You deserve what you deserve!So happy that you ended your year by making a fan,who happens to be the former president of USA".

Another user asked, "do you think Barack also cries when the chorus kicks in.”

Cold Mess is a love song, composed and sung by Kuhad and features actors Jim Sarbh and Zoya Hussain in the video.
