When we asked him about what inspired him to hop on the beat, his opinion made sense. “The day that I heard Badshah’s ‘Therapy’ for the first time, I felt instantly connected with it. As a result, I decided to remix it. I imagined how I would have done it. But due to my upcoming projects which were my first priority, I had to delay it for a few days,” he said.
“I wrote it in a single night and dubbed it the very next day. I was confident that my version will sound different from everyone else,” Olvin further added. Olvin balanced the lyricism with motivation and struggle. This version has a message of being strong.
Significant lyrics from the track:
Likhu Lafz , Panno Pe Gire Aansu
Wajah Pta Nahi Dil Thora Sehma Yu

Bohat Gaane..Aane Hai..Iske Baad !!
