Rajan, who recently collaborated with Singh on the song 'Tere Sang' for his short film 'Echoes of Us,' stated that the singer was not originally considered for the track. Singh agreed to lend his voice after hearing the song, leading to a memorable recording session in his hometown of Jiaganj, West Bengal.
