Jaipur’s Kunaal Vermaa, who has penned the lyrics of popular songs like Aya Na Tu, tracks of Race 3 and more, is on cloud nine after working with the popular American DJ, Marshmello. A week ago, Marshmello released his new song, Biba for which he has collaborated with Indian music composer Pritam. The video of the song, which was released on February 15, also features Shah Rukh Khan. Interestingly, while writing the lyrics, Vermaa didn’t know about the DJ’s involvement in its music.

“I got a call from Pritam da, who asked me to visit his studio urgently. I went there and he told me about a collaboration with an international artiste, for which I had to immediately write the lyrics since the recording was about to begin. A few lines had already been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Irshad Kamil,” he shared with AFTERhrs in a telephonic conversation. “We started working and the recording was going on simultaneously. I finished writing the mukhda, which was being recorded there as I was finishing other parts of the song,” he added. 

The lyricist left the studio after completing the in just an hour. “I was told that the song has been released. I got the video and started sharing it without realising who is Marshmello (laughs). It was only when a few days ago people started calling up to congratulate for the new song with Marshmello that it clicked me. I was amazed that I hadn’t paid attention to that earlier,” he revealed. “It would have been a little different if I would have known who I am writing for,” he added. 

Vermaa’s next song, for the upcoming movie Luka Chhupi, will be releasing in the next 2-3 days.
