The song showcases the emotional journey of Firdaus played by debutant Pranutan. During the live session the lead actress of Notebook, Pranutan was asked about this romantic song she explained, "This song for Firdaus which forms a very important incident of her life. It is a very important sequence from Firdaus's life which is shown in 'Nai Lagda'. So I remember, since day one when I heard the story and I was finalising it, I always had this as a stress point in my life, in my head about how am I going to do this and its incorporated in Nai Lagda. So yeah, it was a little difficult, the portion was a bit difficult."
When asked about the song becoming a Love Anthem, Pranutan said, "It will! I don't know how everyone would feel but we have been listening to Nai Lagda for 9 months. Every time we keep listening to it. Yet till today, now when I hear it I still want to hear it."
While it was an emotional sequence for Pranutan, actor Zaheer Iqbal explained about the shooting experience for Nai Lagda, "It was one of the hardest songs to shoot. It has been shot early in the morning or just during sunsets so it was much colder while we were shooting this song. Shooting at the lake was really unique and it was good fun."
When asked about his favourite line Zaheer Iqbal replied, " 'Phirta Rehta Hai Paagal Sa Bas Ye Kehta Hai Ke Tujh Bin Nai Lagda'. I like the Dua line too which says 'Kaisi Duayein Kaisi Yeh Sadaayein, Dil Kyun Tumhara Sunta Hi Nahi' I love this line. It's a superb line. It has a lot of feeling."
