As a mark of hospitality, he gifted Marshmello a personalised jacket with their song name and logo that was curated by athleisure designer Narendra Kumar. Marshmello loved the gesture and instantly put it on and posed for pictures. While wearing the jacket, he was cheered on with a dhol. Taken by the sound of it, Marshmello tried his hands at the instrument and played it exceptionally well and to the beat of their track. They also danced to the song and gave fans a sneak peek of the step, to be seen in the video of the track.
Said Pritam Da, “I composed a few songs which I sent to Marshmello to work with, together. My first cuts were love songs, especially after hearing Marshmello’s compositions ‘Alone’ and ‘Happier’, and I was convinced he would like the work I sent him. Marshmello’s team loved Biba the most and felt that the song meshed perfectly with the energy, vibe, and culture of India, impressed by its Indianised beats. Marshmello then added his signature touch to it and the result is golden!"
