Production

The thirteenth edition of Coke Studio was going for a multi-producer format, many producers were on board including Haniya Aslam. Everything had been planned, set and halls were booked, artists had been confirmed and the show was few weeks away from final recordings. And then in May 2020, a Pakistani media reported that Coke Studio 13 is cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic. [7]

In October 2020 Coca-Cola Pakistan released an advertisement announcing the return of Coke Studio 2020, a special edition. [8] The show was shortened after major budget cuts because of coronavirus pandemic. All of the rehearsals were done remotely, both singers and musicians were recorded separately due to COVID-19 SOPs. The season is referred as Coke Studio 2020 because of coronavirus pandemic. [9] The season was produced by Rohail Hyatt's production company Frequency Media and distributed by Coca-Cola Pakistan.

Speaking at the launch of Coke Studio 2020, Rohail Hyatt said, [10]

Working on this season has been a valuable learning experience. It has left me with a realization that in order for anything to survive, it must have the ability to change and adapt to the circumstances that surround it. Even in trying times, we must not give up but instead re-invent ourselves and keep moving ahead. Despite the limitations of this pandemic, everyone on the team, especially the artists, willingly left their comfort zones only to help keep alive the tradition of sharing music. It is with this same spirit that we bring Coke Studio to you this year; a humble effort to share something familiar, yet new

—  Rohail Hyatt, producer Coke Studio 2020

general manager of Coca-Cola Pakistan, Fahad Ashraf said,

Coke Studio 2020 is going to be unprecedented, just like the current situation. We’ve tried to retain the core values of the platform, while ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved. It's intended to be fresh, experimental and diverse, and we sincerely hope it will help to lift the spirits of the nation
