The song has a very soothing and calming vibe with deep and meaningful lyrics. Jagjit Singh Dhiman began his professional career in 1961 by undertaking singing and composing assignments at All India Radio. In 1990, Vivek, his son died in a road accident at the age of 18. This came as a profound shock to Jagjit and Chitra Singh. They gave up music for a full year after the death. At the end of that period, Jagjit returned slowly to music, but Chitra announced her retirement and declared that she would not sing or record any more songs.
