Background
The song is composed by Jeet Ganguly and sung by Arijit Singh.

The music video of the song which features Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma is shot around the Taj Mahal which is located in Agra. It also explores the view of the monumental parks in Lucknow. The song is choreographed by Feroz Khan.

The song is the Hindi version of the Bengali song "Ki Kore Toke Bolbo" from Rangbaaz (2013), which is composed by Ganguly and rendered by Singh. The tune of the song has a classic touch within it, where both the interludes have flute played in 90's style. The lyrics of the song is penned by Kausar Munir.
