Swiggy and boAt joined hands to create a series of visuals that put forth the message - "Some items only look good on the menu, not in your playlist. Let's #RightTheSong". The brands shared the same creatives on their individual Instagram handles.

The visuals have the same design template, showing a part of the lyrics from a song on top that compares a woman with a food item. Below the text are two highlighted images. One of the pictures is of the food mentioned in the song. The other one, which is the same for all the visuals, shows an emoji of a woman wearing a headphone with the words "She is not" written below it.
