The tune of this song was based on the theme music of the Hollywood film "Love Story" (1970) composed by Francis Lai. The theme composition was later used in the song "Where Do I Begin?" recorded by Andy Williams. This tune has been used in other Hindi film songs - "Hum Jo Mile Toh Sara Zamana Jale" ("Rani Aur Jaani", 1973), "Saamne Aa" ("Judaai", 1980) and "Dil Kyon Dhadakta Hai" ("Jaanam", 1993).[1][2][3][4]
