Talking about the song’s direction and composition, Rahman said: “This time, this period of the pandemic, is an extraordinary phase in everyone’s life. There is so much uncertainty and pain, and yet, so much resilience and healing. Gulzar ji and I wished to create a song of hope because we all need comfort and reassurance. ‘Meri pukaar suno‘ is like Mother India singing to her children through her daughters. It’s to say that human beings have survived and thrived through different periods of time and that we’ll emerge through this bravely.”

Speaking about the genesis of the song, Gulzar said: “This is a story about Maati Maa, our Mother Earth, as she appeals to us to listen to her. She gives us hope with her bountiful resources, cool breeze, flowing streams and endless sunshine; asking us for a promise to look after our gift of life. Rahman sahab has given my words a truly magical composition as always.” A R Rahman Responds To Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Oscar Is A Kiss Of Death’ Comment, Says ‘Peace! Lets Move On.
