R.D. Burman had used this composition earlier for a non-film song "Jeyo Na Jeyo Na". Interestingly, while this song was sung by Kishore Kumar, "Jeyo Na Jeyo Na" was sung by his son Amit Kumar. R.D. Burman reused this tune again in 1990 for a Pujo album song "Eki Bhalobasa" sung by Asha Bhosle.[1][2]
