This song was a cover of a very popular track by the Pakistani band Jal. Mithoon, who recreated this song, also covered another song from the same album - "Aadat" ("Kalyug", 2005). This was the first Hindi film song for which Mithoon was credited. The first time he was credited for original compositions was for the film "Bas Ek Pal" (2006).[1][2][3]
This was Pakistani singer Atif Aslam's first Hindi film song.
