The song captures the slow evolution of Bhavesh Joshi, the superhero. From the visuals shown, it is easy to assume that the song begins in the aftermath of the death of Kapoor's close friend, as shown in the trailer. The death pushes the character to a crossroad where he has to choose between accepting the reality of the country quietly, or fighting against it.

As Kapoor's dream to join a job and move abroad begins to come to light, he chooses to change. Soon, we see him undergoing a brutal training and fighting with sticks to set on the path of becoming the vigilante.

Papon's gravelly voice adds a texture to the composition, and Trivedi's soft rock background adds to the effect.
