For Armaan Malik, Tera main intezaar is his gift to fans who have been seeking a collaborative work of the Malik brothers after Bol do na zara. “The two of us have worked on a song after a very long time, so, it is indeed special. We didn’t have a brief, and that is the best part of working independently. We can set our way, choose our instruments, and make our arrangements. After we made the first half of the song, we had our dad [Daboo Malik] listen to it. He suggested adding more elements, and there was a lot of experimentation involved,” says the singer, who joined hands with writer Kunaal Vermaa for the release. 

The love song plays to the strengths of the singer-composer duo, known for crafting ballad-like renditions such as Tum aaogey, and Chale aana. “While creating the antara, we had a vision—we wanted to only use a guitar and a piano, but eventually, we saw that the song needed more. Toward the end, it leads to a crescendo. We believe it was perfect.”
