Huma said in the interview that she fell 'in love' with the song the moment producer Jay Shewakramani (whom she called Jayu) played it for her. She also stated that shooting for Maalik felt like 'a bunch of friends coming together,' so she had to say yes.
Confirming that she didn't charge a single rupee for the track, Huma said, 'Doston se kaise paise le sakte hai (How can one borrow money from friends?) It was just two days of shooting, so I felt it really wasn't necessary to take money.'

My conditioning is such that if I'm at work, I'll finish my job and then leave. So yes, it went on for 16 hours, but it wasn't planned. It was just one of those intense days on set,' she said.
