Composed by Pritam Chakraborty, the song is sung by the Pakistani singer Atif Aslam and Chinmayi, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil.
Aslam had previously sung for the actor Shahid Kapoor in "Bakhuda Tumhi Ho" from Kismat Konnection (2008).
[15] Sankhayan Ghosh of The Indian Express commented: "To give credit where it's due, the hook line is melodic, but the rest sounds too formulaic to leave a lasting impression", adding that the song resembles of "Tera Hone Laga Hoon" from Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.
[16] Mohar Basu of Koimoi thought that Atif Aslam and Chinmayi did a spectacular job, but criticised the song for having a 'flimsy feel' to it.
[17] A reprise version of the song was included in the soundtrack, composed and written by Pritam and Irshad Kamil respectively.
[15] Sankhayan Ghosh of The Indian Express commented: "Here, Arijit definitely betters it making it a much more pleasant listen than Aslam's labored vocals.
