As per the source close to the making of the song, he said, "To give the song an East-meets-West flavour, the team brought mainstream Canadian rap legend Kardinal onboard to record and film with Nargis and Parichay." The source also revealed that Nargis had to train hard so that her firangi accent doesn't sound out of the place when she sings the Punjabi lines. He continued, "For the main chorus line, she gave 100 takes because she couldn't get the Punjabi lyrics right. She made sure to learn the correct pronunciation of every word from Parichay."
