The love ballad, written by Sameer Anjaan, has been sung by Yasser Desai and Rashmeet Kaur. Composer Gourov Dasgupta says, "It's my solo score after five years. As the song is dear to me, I'm dedicating it to my daughter, Vedika."

The video is directed by Kookie Gulati. "I was stunned by the feel and the vibe the singers and the music composer have brought to 'Saiyyonee'. It felt amazing to be featuring in the music video of a song that's so fresh and full of love," Asim said.

The song will be out on March 17. It is about everlasting love and heartbreak. Shivaleeka adds: "It is the kind of song that makes you want to hit repeat. Playing off to the energy of the creators of 'Saiyyonee' was an amazing experience. I'm super excited for the song to be out."

Talking about the track, composer Dasgupta said: "Saiyyonee is the song that celebrates a new beginning for me on all fronts, personal and professional... I feel this has the potential to be a timeless classic."

Dasgupta has scored music for Bollywood films such as "Baaghi 2", "Raaz 2", "Kaabil", and "Total Dhamaal" among others. Singer Yasser Desai said: "I am waiting eagerly for this song to be out. Sameer sir has penned the lyrics with his signature finesse, and Gourov has composed it with all his heart."
