Talking about the song, she told IANS, “This was a completely new experience for me. As someone who loves dancing, I felt drawn to this, and I really embraced it as playing a character, not an extension of who I am, but a side I get to explore as a performer”.

In this project, the singer leans into a stylised, performance-led avatar, playful, self-assured, and fluid. The track’s groove brings out her signature nuance and control, where attitude and ease take centre stage over spectacle.
