Dressed in a casual hoodie and sweatpants, Sabzwari, while turning on the track says, “Ah, I can't wait for people to listen to this song. I first heard this song in 2017.” He then went on to tell how Mann Ranjhan made the Sinf-e-Aahan actor sign the film. “I still remember that Syra wasn't finalised for the movie back then. She wasn't sure of her character but after listening to this song, she said, ‘i don't care whatever the character is, I want to do this movie’.”

With the mellow music still in the background, the camera shifts to Syra detailing how this song reminded her of the old-school romantic charm. “I remember I used to listen to a lot of music with my dad when I was younger. We used to listen to a lot of old songs and they had this melody that I felt was missing from our music for a while,” she said. But with this film and this song, she found that missing melody and we can’t wait to hear it already!
