The title track has been sung by Arijit Singh and the lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Pritam has composed the music of the film. Pritam said, "I would give a lot of credit to Amitabh for writing a song with a word like Kalank; it's not easy. Arijit has made the track soulful and beautiful. Director Abhishek Varman's brief was that it has to be a beautiful romantic number, which underlines the feeling one has when he or she starts loving someone intensely. It's spiritual. After the teaser was out, a lot of people had asked me if the title track is dark. I can now tell them that it's not dark. It's beautiful and exceptionally romantic."
The makers also shared a few glimpses of the lead characters of Kalank:
While the song will focus on the love and passion between Roop and Zafar, it will also give us glimpses of the relationships between the other characters, namely Dev and Satya, and Bahaar Begum and Balraj.
