The opening notes are laden with techno beats, which sounded very unlike Jeet, but its the later half of the song turns into a soothing melody".[7]

Jeet Gannguli has composed the music for this romantic number.[8] The Indian Express wrote that this song along with Khamoshiyan title track and Tu har lamha sounds like Arjit Singh is on "autopilot".[9]
