Composed by Sachin–Jigar and written by Kausar Munir, the song is performed by the leading actress of the film Parineeti Chopra in her playback singing debut. The film version, a duet, is performed by Chopra and Sonu Nigam.
The song was released on 28 March 2017 by Yash Raj Music. The song received critical acclaim for its composition, writing and Chopra's vocal performance. "Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin" garnered four nominations at the 10th Mirchi Music Awards including Song of The Year and Upcoming Female Vocalist of The Year for Parineeti Chopra. Kausar Munir received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist while Chopra received a nomination for the Screen Award for Best Playback Singer Female.
"Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin" was written by Kausar Munir and composed by Sachin–Jigar for the film Meri Pyaari Bindu.[1] It is performed by the leading actress of the film Parineeti Chopra in her debut playback singing.[2] The film version, a duet, is performed by Chopra and Sonu Nigam.[3] The song was composed at the YRF Studio, Mumbai.
Music composer of the song Sachin–Jigar revealed that it was their deliberate efforts to compose the song "ghazal-like in a non-ghazal format, keeping it light and easy. Chopra who is a trained Hindustani-classical singer with a B. A. Honors degree in music, was waiting for the right opportunity to sing in her films.[4] Sachin–Jigar chose Chopra to sing as her character Bindu in the film is also an aspiring singer, so it felt inevitable: "In Parineeti’s case, the actor lives the character, who is a very deserving singer who doesn't find success. The actor is the best person to express the emotions."[5] The melody of the song pans around two octaves.[5]
