We jammed with each other and with Jonita and Mikey on a couple of sessions to get the feel of the song right. Cannot wait to share it with the audience and for Red Notice to drop on Netflix soon."The song is a groovy new take on the iconic Hindi Song 'Bachke Rehna Re Baba' highlighting the action and adventure packed hunt for Cleopatra's golden eggs which is at the core of the film.This is the first time that Badshah and Divine have come together to create music, and have been supported by the charm of Jonita Gandhi and the musical brilliance of Mikey McCleary.

I hope people enjoy our rendition! Of course, having the support of the powerhouses that are my co artists on this one helped immensely," says singer Jonita Gandhi.Adding to that, composer, music producer and artist, Mikey McCleary, said: "Our rendition of 'Bachke Rehna Re Baba' for Netflix's 'Red Notice' with Divine and Badshah is a combination of a timeless classic song and an original contemporary edgy rap track."I composed and produced the track remotely from New York with the artists recording from various locations in India.
