Earlier, speaking about her experience of recording and working on the ‘Bachpan Ka Pyaar’ remix, Aastha Gill said:

“The idea of making this song popped when I, Badshah, and Rico were in Kolkata for a show and we decided to make a reel on this song ‘Bachpan Ka Pyaar’.

“After posting the video on social media, the reel went so viral and the song picked up well, that’s when we three decided to make a complete track of it.

“I was so excited for this and we shot the song with Sahdev.”
