The lockdown owing to the Covid-19 pandemic witnessed a sharp rise in mental health issues. To address this crisis, the makers decided to come up with Jaana Zaroori Tha which is themed around mental health.

Talking about the song, Miket Kanakia, founder of Velvet Vibes, shares, “Jaana Zaroori Tha comes from a personal space. It is extremely well-timed. Our goal was to initiate a dialogue on mental health in a sensitive way. It is a very special and important song and Tejas has done a great job with the track.”

Producer Mourjo Chatterjee says, “Our expectations are quite high from Jaana Zaroori Tha. I hope we’ve achieved what we had set out to. Live orchestration used in the song is a rearity in the age of digitalisation but we wanted to have a grand feel. We’ve shot it in the picturesque locales of Goa.”
