From Farhan accounts, song lyrics were initially penned down by him as "saiyaan saiyaan teri aan teri aan" but when he met Indian lyricist Kumaar, he co-writes the song with singer and change the title line to "Roiyaan Roiyaan akhiyaan roiyaan". Song is also a composition of Farhan with the collaboration of Indian Punjabi musician Jaidev Kumar. After completion many offers were made by Indian music producers to use the song in their upcoming films, but Farhan first decided to release the song in Pakistan. Farhan also serves as a producer to songs' music video. He approaches singer-composer and director Yasir Muhammad Jaswal to direct the music video of song and Sabeeka for the role, talking in an interview Farhan said, "I started looking for a good director who could do justice to its video and the only one I could think of was Yasir (Jaswal) as he heard the song and was in love with it; I had full faith in him. Sabeeka (Imam) was the female model who has been doing great in the fashion industry and was perfect for the role."[1]
