The composer spoke about what he loved most about the song. He said, “What I love most is how a true melody transcends language because while Shilpa is singing it, it sounds like a very traditional Indian melody and Caralisa and I are singing a Spanish version of that melody and it sounds authentic there too.”
Vishal went on to add that it is an exciting crossover and that they had a lot of fun creating it. He believes Siddharth wanted to “raise the bar in terms of the woman, the protagonist singing the song being very sensual, very empowered”. He also stated that it is a great groove that people will enjoy dancing to. “A lot of heart has gone into it and I hope everyone enjoys it,” he concluded.
Sheykhar Ravjiani also spoke about the song and talked about where they got the inspiration from. He said, “Besharam Rang’s inspiration in all the old beautiful melodies we’ve grown up listening to, but infused with today’s vibe and sound”.
Vishal and Sheykhar and Siddharth Anand have worked together in movies like War, Salaam Namaste, and Bang Bang, and have an enviable hit record. Talking about their collaboration with Siddharth Anand, Sheykhar said “Siddharth and us go back a long way. The collaboration started with a foundation of great friendship and understanding. It is one of those rare working relationships that is driven by a huge amount of passion, love for music and an ability to instantly grasp what we are collectively trying to achieve musically. The reason for the success of our combination lies in the joy of the process of making music and this joy is palpable when the audience hears the song.”
