The endeavour was to craft something that feels like a bridge between two worlds - historical and contemporary. Arijit Singh's textured and emotionally laden voice wraps around the composition, carrying the listener into a world of yearning and hope. His classical expertise and heartfelt delivery elevate the song to a realm very few singers can unlock," Rahman said in a press note.
