Background

The song is composed by Pritam and has three versions of the song. The original version is sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, where as the reprise and redux version is rendered by Arijit Singh and Shafqat Amanat Ali respectively. The lead star of the film, Ranbir Kapoor selected the song (version sung by Bhardwaj) as one of his favourite songs from the album. He further stated Singh did an amazing job in his rendition of the song.

The lyrics of the song is penned by Sayeed Quadri. The lyrics include some Urdu wordings including "mayasaar, badastoor, musalsal". The original version by Bhardwaj, uses the interplay of piano and guitar, laced with Indian sounds in the composition.[3] The reprise version by Singh has different moods in the composition, at times an Indian feel with the tabla and in some intervals, a Jazz feel with the piano.[3] The redux version by Amanat Ali brings 'vivid shades of Sufism' to the track.
