Tanishk Bagchi Reacts To Claims That Saiyaara Title Song Is Copied From One Direction Track: "Whatever I Do..."
New Delhi: Mohit Suri's musical Saiyaara has been making waves on social media, courtesy its music. Tanishk Bagchi, who is one of the composers of the song along with singers Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, now reacted to the controversy that the title song of the film has been copied from One Direction's Night Changes and Jubin Nautiyal's Humnava Mere in a chat with India Today. What's Happening While social media is flooded with reels featuring Saiyaara title track, a section of the Internet claimed that the song has been copied from One Direction's Night Changes and Jubin Nautiyal's Humnava Mere. Speaking to India Today, Tanishk Bagchi said, "Whatever I do, people will have something to say because they don't have [anything better to do]. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down. But ultimately, the song will go wherever it's destined to, and that's what's happening with Saiyaara too. As for the comparisons, if you look at the melody, the chords are the same. The A minor scale has just about 3-4 chords but every melody has a different soul. That doesn't mean that anything was stolen. Even if you can do that, it's really difficult to make it a hit." "All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose. Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (we didn't pick and add anything). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of the track 'Saiyaara'," he said in his defence. "The best thing is that it's an original Hindi song, a pure Hindi song. There is no collaboration with foreign artists; everyone associated is home-grown, so that's a big achievement for me. I did have an intuition that this could go viral, but I never expected it to top global charts. I think it's purely the hard work on the song and the pure intention that worked in its favour," he said. Saiyaara title track featured on Spotify's viral top 50 tracks, along with making it to the top five global hit songs on the platform. In A Nutshell

Saiyaara Title Track Copied From One Direction's Night Changes? Tanishk Bagchi Says, 'Didn't Steal'
Tanishk Bagchi reacts to claims that Saiyaara sounds like a One Direction song. While Saiyaara continues to ride high on music charts around the world, its sudden success has come with a side of controversy. The emotional track, composed by Tanishk Bagchi, has not only grabbed the No. 4 spot on Spotify's Top Global chart but also recently topped the Viral Top 50 list – making it one of the most talked-about songs right now. But as the praise pours in, so do whispers of similarity. Listeners online have pointed out parts of the tune that, they say, resemble One Direction's Night Changes and Jubin Nautiyal's Humnava Mere. Tanishk, however, isn't too bothered by the comparisons. 'Whatever I do, people will have something to say because they don't have [anything better to do]. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down. But ultimately, the song will go wherever it's destined to, and that's what's happening with Saiyaara too," he said in a chat with India Today. He addressed the criticism directly, explaining that musical overlaps don't mean something was copied. 'As for the comparisons, if you look at the melody, the chords are the same. The A minor scale has just about 3-4 chords but every melody has a different soul. That doesn't mean that anything was stolen. Even if you can do that, it's really difficult to make it a hit." Doubling down on his stance, Bagchi added, 'All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose. Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (we didn't pick and add anything). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of the track 'Saiyaara'." In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Tanishk said he looks forward to composing an international track soon that helps him get his rightful share of royalties. 'Jaise international artists ko milta hai, humein nahi milta unless you own the publishing rights. The rights of the title track of Saiyaara isn't with me. It's with the music label. I'll only get so much money. I try to not bother myself because it is what it is. But when I make an international song in the future, I know that I'll earn in billions. I'm waiting for that moment," he said. First Published: July 29, 2025, 09:49 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
