The lyrics of Pritam's song "Lat Lag Gayee", sung by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, reflect the emotions of the singer who is infatuated with someone to the point that it feels almost like an addiction. The first verse talks about the singer's desire for the person, who is referred to as "beimaan" or deceitful. The singer acknowledges that winning the person's heart will not be easy, and that they are willing to play dirty to achieve it. The following chorus sees the singer expressing just how much they are smitten with the person, to the point that they have lost all reason and the world now deems their actions to be inappropriate. The second verse acknowledges that the singer now feels like they can not function without the person's presence and how they believe the person feels the same. The final chorus is a culmination of the emotions expressed throughout the song, where the singer feels they have done whatever it takes to be with the person they desire.
