The song is part of a film named Ammajan is directed by Kazi Hayat who never sat down with the composer about the music. He gave complete freedom to the composer in this regard. He believes that giving freedom to composers will bring good things. The director asked Bulbul to write and compose a song about mothers for the film that no other mother-related song could compare to. Hayat told Bulbul the plot of the film in detail where the mother devotee hero would do anything for her. Taking everything into consideration, Bulbul wrote and composed the song.[5]
Bulbul wanted to write the song in such a way that the lyrics would have depth. In the lyrics of the song he adds several religious words which he has to add very carefully and impartially. He made the song so that all kinds of people can understand and sing it.[5]
Bulbul wanted to sing the song to Ayub Bachchu, whom he had known since childhood. He usually does not sing for films. Bachchu initially refused to sing the song and had to be persuaded with great difficulty. While recording the song, Ayub Bachchu did not have to use any instruments or software to sing.[4][5][8]
