A singer has greater freedom with singles than film music. "When you sing for films, then you have to keep in mind the mood and situation of the film but when you create independent music, it gives them the freedom to visualize and express feelings in one's own way," she noted.

About her new song, she said: " 'Tanhaai' is a very special song for me. After a long time, I have featured in a video and sung it as well, so I am more attached to this song. It's a pop-rock genre song and has soulful lyrics."
