Roy Songwriting Credits by Arijit Singh

Arijit Singh wrote none of this album, and the paperwork shows exactly where he does sit. Amaal Mallik had the tune for "Sooraj Dooba Hain" three years before Roy existed, having written it for producers who turned it down; Bhushan Kumar picked it up for the film, and Kumaar wrote the words to the finished melody afterwards. Mallik then chose Singh for the male vocal because he wanted a voice not already worn out on party numbers, and Singh recorded it opposite Aditi Singh Sharma. That is the whole of Singh's involvement here: two takes on one song, out of seven tracks. Ankit Tiwari composed four of the others to lyrics by Abhendra Kumar Upadhyay and Sandeep Nath, and sang two of them himself, which is the rarer double credit on this record. "Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan" came from Meet Bros Anjjan, the trio of brothers Manmeet Singh and Harmeet Singh with Anjjan Bhattacharya, who split from the pair later in 2015. The award ballots read the roles apart the same way the credits do: the composers took Best Music Director as a group, Kumaar was nominated for the lyrics, and Singh took Best Male Playback Singer, at the Filmfare Awards in 2016. Three people were honoured over one song, and only one of them opened his mouth.
