This was the only song in this film that was sung by Asha Bhosle. Yash Chopra had wanted Lata Mangeshkar to sing all the songs in the film and Jatin - Lalit had to convince him to let Asha sing this song instead of Lata. The music directors wanted her to sing at least one song in the film as a token of appreciation towards her - it was Asha Bhosle who had recommended Jatin - Lalit to Yash Chopra for this film.[1]
