The clip started with Salim saying, “Hi everyone, a lot of people have been asking me about the release date of the song that I recorded with Sidhu Moose Wala. So now the time has come. We recorded the song in July 2021 in Chandigarh. I met Afsana Khan last year and she introduced me to Sidhu. After knowing about Sidhu’s passion for his art, song, his people, community, his thoughts, it made me very happy and within no time we decided to work together."
He continued, "This song was recorded at my friend Sachin Ahuja’s studio in Chandigarh. We recorded a beautiful, heart-touching and emotional song. Sidhu has sung this song from his heart and Afsana added beauty to the song. Today Sidhu is not among us but his voice and thoughts are in this song and that is why we are releasing this song as a tribute to Sidhu’s fans, people who have loved him and everyone around the world who liked his songs."
