Iulia Vantur Recalls The Process Of Recording The Song

Talking further about how the song was recorded, Iulia revealed that they revisited the track to bring out deeper emotions that matched her character in the film. She explained, “Actually, the first time I sang it with more attention to the voice. Then both of us recorded again because we felt like we wanted a little bit more emotion and softer from my side, especially softer. Even for my part in the movie, my character, what she was going through, it needed somehow to be softer and more pale, you know. So yeah, it’s according to my character in the film as well, because it’s for the film, right? So yeah, and he guided me.

Iulia went on to appreaciate Arijit saying,“He was very kind to give me advice. I was happy to hear that he’s appreciating me as an artist as well, which is very kind of him. He doesn’t need to do all these things, you know. But still he does it, and it’s so encouraging and kind and beautiful.”
