The composer Ankit Tiwari was appreciated for recruiting Shreya Ghoshal's voice for the female version of the song. The song 'Sunn Raha Hai' was rendered in two different (electric rock and semi -classical) styles as per the demand of the film where a rich and popular singer sings with modern and sophisticated instruments and a poor bar singer sings with normal instruments. The song became the most popular listener's choice song of the year 2013 and an ever-chanting love anthem for everyone.
The song Tum Hi Ho had already been recorded by Mithoon two years before its original release through Arijit's voice. Jeet Gannguli (left) at an event for Aashiqui 2 music concert
