Creation

Diljit Dosanjh, Badshah and their team worked on composing this song for one year. Badshah wrote the lyrics and composed the music. Due to busy schedule of making and promotion of the Punjabi film Jatt & Juliet 2, Diljit hardly had time to work on the song, earlier this song was to be released in 2012 but because of this reason it took longer than its expected time. After the release of the movie, Diljit was ready with the song in less than 2 months.

The music video for the song was shot in Los Angeles.[2]
