On giving her vocals, Rekha Bhardwaj said, “Kill is a special film, not only for the acclaim it has received ahead of its release but also for its unconventional storyline. ‘Nikat’ is more than just a song; it is an emotion, a source of nourishment, and a powerful surge of energy. We hope it transcends boundaries and touches hearts with its profound emotional quotient and vitality that have been put through vocals.”
Lyricist Siddhant Kaushal explains, “‘Nikat’ is about the profound feeling of wanting to be near someone you love. We aimed to create a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the gravity of love, and we hope the audiences can resonate with the same feeling.”
Composer Haroon Gavin also shared insights into the creation process of the song.
“Collaborating with Rekha ji on ‘Nikat’ was a deeply enriching experience. Our aim was to craft music that would resonate with listeners on a profound level, capturing moments of intimacy and reflection through melody and lyricism. Rekha ji’s evocative voice, with its nuances and subtle pauses (‘thaharaav’), became an integral part of the narrative we sought to create. It was a journey where every piece of the puzzle effortlessly came together, and I look forward to sharing this musical story with the world,” Haroon said.
