Composed by Santhosh Narayanan, the song featured vocals by Dhee and Arivu, both of whom also appeared in the accompanying music video. The track’s narrative drew inspiration from Arivu’s grandmother’s life story, highlighting her journey from poverty-stricken beginnings to relocating to Sri Lanka.

As a result of this disheartening experience, Narayanan announced his intention to establish his own music label. Emphasizing his commitment to supporting independent artists, he vowed to provide a platform where creators can showcase their work and receive fair remuneration for their contributions. Addressing fellow indie artists directly, Narayanan reassured them of his support, promising to ensure that their dues are cleared and their talents duly recognized.
Furthermore, Narayanan raised additional concerns regarding the alleged theft of his YouTube channel, which has reportedly been generating revenue without his consent.
