The hook lyrics of this song were dummy lyrics used by Laxmikant - Pyarelal to compose the Koli-folk-inspired tune. Director N. Chandra liked it so much that he insisted that the dummy lyrics be included in the song. In fact, it was Chandra's idea to use this Koli tune.[1]
Several elements in this song sequence were inspired by the opening song of the film "Streets of Fire" (1984) - "Nowhere Fast".[2]
