R.D. Burman had used the tune of this song earlier for the Bengali non-film song "Amar Malatilata" ("Sera Shilpi Sera Gaan", 1974) sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Since this song was not used in the film, Burman used the tune again for the Hindi film song "Hum Aur Tum The Saathi" ("Hamaare Tumhare", 1978).[1][2]
