The high pitch romantic song has meaningful lyrics too
Composed by Raees & ZAIN-Sam, the romantic track is a feel-good number. The words by Liaqat Jafri depict deep meaning to the thoughts.

The beautiful mountains are breathtaking in the video
The 4:30-minute-long video starts with Ben and Daruwala having a conversation at an open restaurant. Their charming chemistry reflects in the melody. The snow-covered region and the picturesque drone shots and the river add to the quality of the associated music video. And, the song's visuals have the power to make you feel like taking a trip to the mountains with your beloved.
Ben, Sabri's voices resemble Atif Aslam, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
If you look at the visuals attentively, the locations might remind you of Ye Ishq Hai from Jab We Met. Meanwhile, the crooners of this soulful number have a striking similarity with two great singers: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam. Their notes and the style of singing would remind you of these stalwarts whose songs have the power to give you goosebumps.
